Synopsis

Duncan's crayons are back, and they're more disgruntled than ever! From Maroon Crayon, lost under the sofa and broken in two, to Turquoise Crayon, stuck to a stinky sock after a mishap in the dryer, each has a tale of woe. Through humorous postcards, these forgotten crayons plead to return home, leading Duncan to create a special place where all his crayons can feel welcome. This delightful sequel highlights the importance of empathy and belonging.
