Broken Crayons - by Karter Reed and Armanette Reed (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

While Karter and I were trying to come up with a title for this book, I must admit it was fun to see what he could come up with. We were tossing around titles, and I finally said, "Karter, what about, "The Person who sits Next to Me." We can have a picture of students in a classroom sitting at their desks and some of the students have questions marks on their face. Karter replied, "No. I don't like that, Nana." I said OK what do you think? Karter said, Bullies are like crayons. I said, how do you mean? Karter tells me, "When crayons are broken, they can still color. When bullies are broken, they can still be good people and good friends." I said, "I love that thought Karter and I think we have the title."
