"Sienna looks forward to drawing a picture for her school's spring art show, until she ends up with the last two crayons ... By the time Sienna arrives at the art table in her classroom, all the crayons are gone except dark brown and light brown. Now how can she make a special picture for the art show? Andy teases that all she'll be able to draw is mud and dog poop. Her teacher tries to cheer her up, telling her that lots of wonderful things are brown. So Sienna imagines some of her favorite things -- her grandma's rose garden, her new bicycle, rainbows -- but none of them are brown! Her friends remind her that chocolate ice cream is brown, and so is the grizzly bear at the zoo. Sienna draws both, with the help of her friends, but neither picture seems special enough. In the end, inspired by an early memory, Sienna comes up with her own idea for a drawing that's perfect for the art show. The Last Two Crayons looks at the beautiful world of brown, with a heartwarming and empowering ending that celebrates diversity, creativity and family."--… (mehr)

The "brown is beautiful" message of this book is good and important, but I just cannot get past the setup: the art teacher places "a handful of crayons" on the front table, saying, "Take your pick. There's enough for everyone." Each kid takes one or two colors, leaving brown-skinned Sienna with two brown crayons. There's nothing about the school being underfunded, and Sienna looks forward to art class, where previously she used paints (presumably, more than one color). So why, if the kids are creating art for the spring art show ("just one day away"), are they making do with a handful of crayons, and not considering sharing (at least at first)? Why are they just now starting art for a show that's tomorrow? (What if a kid is absent today?) I really like Robinson's cut paper and digital painting illustrations, and I wanted to like this book more.
