Green is for Christmas

Written by Drew Daywalt and Illustrated by Oliver Jeffers
When Green Crayon claims that green is the only color for Christmas, the other Crayons let him know that there would be no Christmas without them either. No candy canes or Santa without Red, no snow without White, no bells or stars without Silver, and no cookies or reindeer without Tan! The Crayons agree that they all need to come together to make Christmas special.
