Several new books arrived today and that I think students and teachers alike will enjoy Frankencrayon. Last year Michael Hall wrote Red, A Crayon’s Story, an excellent read if you’re looking for a good friendship/identity book about feeling useless, until a friend shares a different perspective.Red, A Crayon’s Story would pair well with this year’s Sakura Medal Nominee, The Mermaid and the Shoe by K. G. Campbell.

NEW – Frankencrayon:  A companion book to Red, A Crayon’s Story.  This book about seeing beauty in unexpected places and the magic of storytelling.
