Status Updates From Red: A Crayon's Story

Prompt: Illustrated Book (Has been banned/challenged)

This kinda warms my heart. When you finally get that support to be secure in your identity the real you shines and you begin to feel like you finally fit in the world.

Again there is quite a bit of negativity but it’s important for kids to know that they will meet people who will want to “fix” them to try and make them fit the mold that they have created for them and that is the reality of life.

So far I think it’s pretty abstract because they are using crayons to explain identity which I think might be confusing. I do like that they are addressing societal pressure to conform to a identity that you aren’t .
