A child uses crayons to change the world, rubbing out the bad things and coloring it afresh to make it a more hopeful place.With a box of colored crayons and an eraser to rub things out, one child sets out to transform the world. By rubbing out ‘‘hunger’’ and coloring in ‘‘wheat’’, the world can be fed. By rubbing out ‘‘crying’’ and coloring ‘’laughter’’, the world gets to sing, dance and be joyful. Told with poetic simplicity, this book shows how creative imagination - through the use of color and imagery - can change the world from bad to good. An unusual and deceptively simple picture bookthat imagines a world without discrimination, poverty or inequality.
