What is Micky's magic pencil about?

Micky is thrilled when his gran sends him a magical pencil in four bright colours. He takes it to school, eager to discover what it can do. Soon, his friends ask for help with drawings, ideas and tricky problems. Micky is happy to share its magic, but each use makes the pencil smaller. Can he make sure everyone gets the help they need before the pencil disappears? A gentle story about kindness, sharing and the special magic of friendship.
