In a wonderful celebration of Mother's Day, the hilarious crayons from the #1 New York Times bestselling The Day The Crayons Quit love their moms--and mother figures in their lives--so much, they wrote a book about it!

Red Crayon loves his mom because she works extra hard, especially on the holidays. Yellow and Orange Crayons love their grandma who has a been like a mom to them. And White Crayon loves his mom a ton, even if he can't always see her. In this inclusive celebration of all kinds of families, the Crayons from The Day the Crayons Quit show how much the crayons love celebrating their moms--and other family members--on Mother's Day.
Praise for Happy Mother's Day from the Crayons:

"Laudably, Daywalt and Jeffers depict a variety of different families, allowing many readers to feel seen . . . [this book] adeptly balances humor and heart. Another endearing and amusing outing with these winsome characters." —Kirkus Reviews

Drew Daywalt was amazed at the age of seven, while sitting in the movie theater watching the credits roll on the original Star Wars, to see for the first time that people actually MADE movies. They weren’t just found items like mountains or rivers or clouds. That night, at story time with his mom, Charlene, he noticed there were names of people on the front of books, too. That’s when he learned about authors and writers. And he never looked back. Drew is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Day the Crayons Quit, all of its sequels, and many other titles, including The Legend of Rock, Paper, Scissors; Little Freddie Two Pants; and the middle grade novel They Call Me No Sam! illustrated by Mike Lowery. Drew lives in California with his wife, two kids, two dogs, two goldfish, a cat, and some local raccoons who like pizza crusts.

He is also, of course, the illustrator of the #1 smash hit Crayons series, written by Drew Daywalt. His fine art is world-renowned and his dip-art exhibitions are much sought-after events. Originally from Belfast, Northern Ireland, Oliver now splits his time between Belfast and Brooklyn, New York.
