When young Josephine walks into her one-room schoolhouse, she discovers something she has never seen before—a colorful box of crayons. To her, they are pure magic. For the first time, she can draw bright blue skies, golden sunshine, and flowers in every color she can imagine.
Her teacher says the crayons must stay at school, but Josephine can't stop thinking about her little sister at home. She longs to share the wonderful colors with the person she loves most. Believing just one night won't hurt, Josephine slips the crayons into her satchel.
But on the journey home, the crayons disappear.
Heartbroken and filled with worry, Josephine must find the courage to tell the truth, even when she's afraid of the consequences. Along the way, she discovers that honesty can mend broken trust, forgiveness can heal mistakes, kindness is more valuable than any treasure, and sharing something special with someone we love is one of life's greatest gifts.
Set in the late 1800s, this touching story reminds young readers that the brightest colors are found not only in a box of crayons, but in a truthful heart and a loving spirit.
