The book, “Red: A Crayon’s Story” is about a blue crayon that was labeled as a red one. All the crayons told him that everything he drew was wrong because he couldn’t draw anything red. He finally found a crayon that saw him for him, and he started to draw blue things beautifully.
It is one of my favorite children’s books because it makes you realize how important it is to give children support and encouragement. There are times when teachers label children as a bad child and it follows them along their educational journey, until they meet that one special person that sees them for who they are, and they flourish.
Learning is Fun and Educational 
Yes I totally agree with you on labeling kids. All to often teachers never take the time to see the kids in their own unique way and use it for their good. We are all created in a unique way to bring about different perspectives in a creative way. No one wants to have a label that is carried around with them for the rest of their lives only to realize that their lives have changed and they no longer wear that label anymore. It’s time to learn our kids for who they are and not what someone has said (labeled).

This is an interesting book title. I think that it holds a lot of substance to today’s children. We cannot label children in education. Every child is different in their own right. It is our job, as educators, to foster those differences and make them feel and know that it is ok to be different and think outside of the box.
