# The Day the Crayons Quit

We have been using the books by Drew Daywalt as inspiration for our writing. ‘The Day the Crayons Quit’ include letters from Duncan’s crayons, who are writing to him because they are feeling fed up or frustrated about something. We wrote letters from a ‘forgotten crayon’.
