When Pencil Met the Markers

Perfect Picture Book Friday

When Pencil Met the Markers (Imprint, 2020) by Karen Kilpatrick and Luis O. Ramos, Jr. and illustrated by Germán Blanco is a fun and encouraging book for anyone who at some point didn’t fit in.

All the markers love to color, but the purple marker loves to color everywhere! He doesn’t stay inside the lines. When Purple is told he doesn’t fit, he feels blue. But then he meets Pencil who gives him the idea of coloring on plain paper. Pencil adds to the drawings. Not only do they have fun, but now the other markers are interested, so now they work together.

This book stands alone but is a sequel to When Pencil Met Eraser. Here’s the story behind that book from Karen. Learn more about the authors: Karen here and Luis here, and about the illustrator Germán here.
