A Broken Crayon is a heartfelt children’s book with a message that resonates with all ages. Inspired by the hit song from the band Go Fish, it tells the story of a crayon that breaks and believes it’s no longer useful—until an artist sees its beauty and uses it to create something extraordinary.
With lyrical storytelling, this book reminds readers that mistakes, scars, and setbacks don’t define us—they shape us into something even more beautiful. Perfect for families, classrooms, and heartfelt conversations, A Broken Crayon inspires resilience, self-acceptance, and the truth that even in brokenness, we can still shine.

Lexington Samuel Forrester does not like naps. His mom, however, must really like them, because she makes him have a nap every single day. Even if Lex stays awake, he has to stay in bed. That’s the rule.Mom didn’t say anything about staying in his room, though…So Lex decides to drive his bed to Grandma’s house. Grandma never makes him nap; she usually makes him cookies! Joined by a motley collection of forest friends, including a bossy rabbit and two rambunctious chipmunks, Lex sets off on a journey through the wilderness with many unexpected detours. After almost getting lost, being pulled over for traffic violation, and even temporarily losing control of his bed, Lex arrives at Grandma’s feeling rather tired and, well, sleepy. So sleepy that he might just need a nap.
Carolyn Huizinga Mills’s imaginative story, paired with Jan Dolby’s playful illustrations, is a rollicking naptime adventure.
