Debut author Drew Daywalt and international bestseller Oliver Jeffers team up to create a colourful solution to a crayon-based crisis in this playful, imaginative story that will have children laughing and playing with their crayons in a whole new way.
Poor Duncan just wants to colour in. But when he opens his box of crayons, he only finds letters, all saying the same thing: We quit.
Beige is tired of playing second fiddle to Brown, Blue needs a break from colouring in all that water, while Pink just wants to be used. Green has no complaints, but Orange and Yellow are no longer speaking to each other.
The battle lines have been drawn. What is Duncan to do?
發表處女作的作者祖兒．戴沃特和國際暢銷書作家奧利佛．傑法攜手合作，在這個生動又富有想像力的故事裡，為這一場由蠟筆帶來的危機創造了一個色彩繽紛的解答。小朋友們將一面大笑，一面以全新的方式玩著蠟筆。
可憐的鄧肯只是想使用蠟筆著色，但他打開蠟筆盒時，卻發現幾句同樣的話：我們罷工了。
米色蠟筆厭倦當棕色蠟筆的助手，藍色蠟筆在塗滿整片水域後需要休息，而粉紅色蠟筆只想要出場。綠色蠟筆沒什麼怨言，但橘色蠟筆和黃色蠟筆不再和彼此交談。
衝突即將爆發，鄧肯該怎麼辦呢？
