Crayon Emotions and Experiences

In 'The Day the Crayons Quit,' Duncan's crayons write letters expressing their grievances. Red crayon feels overworked, while purple crayon is frustrated with coloring outside the lines. Beige crayon is tired of being second to brown, and gray crayon is exhausted from coloring large animals. White crayon feels invisible, and black crayon wants more recognition. Green crayon is content but mediates a dispute between yellow and orange crayons over the sun's color. Blue crayon is worn out, pink crayon feels neglected, and peach crayon is embarrassed without its wrapper. Duncan resolves their issues with a creative picture, earning praise from his teacher.
