Dear Humans, We Stole Your Crayon!

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

When aliens Zimothy and Meep accidentally discover a mysterious Earth artefact called a 'crayon,' they're amazed by its magical powers - it can make thought appear on paper!

What begins as an extraterrestrial classroom investigation turns into an intergalactic celebration of creativity and artistic discovery. From the brilliantly imaginative Anna McGregor, creator of Spiro, Who's Afraid of the Light? and Anemone is Not the Enemy, comes a delightfully funny story that celebrates the humble crayon and the universal joy of making art. With McGregor's signature wit and charming illustrations, this cosmic tale reminds us that creativity knows no boundaries - whether you're human or alien, the magic of drawing connects us all.

'This story has thought-provoking concepts little minds will devour ... With simple dialogue and engaging illustrations, this book is sure to be a hit with children aged 3+.'

Praise for Spiro:
'Spiro is a heartwarming picture book with a cheeky sense of humour and a solid message about persistence for young readers aged 3+. McGregor's illustrations and hand-lettering add vibrancy to the tale, especially with the pops of neon pink.'
-Karys McEwen, Books+Publishing

Praise for Anemone is not the Enemy:
'Even someone socially awkward can find a friend. A habit of stinging keeps lonely Anemone from making friends, but for a clownfish, Anemone is just the right companion ... (The last fact will be familiar to anyone who's seen Disney's Finding Nemo) ... Attentive readers will be intrigued.'
-Kirkus Reviews
