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.

The Crayons love a holiday, and Mother's Day is no exception. Every color is different, and so is every mom. Purple's mother, seated cross-legged in a yoga pose, "doesn't color inside the lines." Red's works tirelessly to support her family, which sometimes means missing holidays. White Crayon adores his mother, "even though he can't see her" (the accompanying image shows both crayons fading into the white background), while pale lime green Esteban's mom supports his "dreams of adventure" by helping him pack. All the Crayons celebrate their families on this day, and not all the parents look like their children or are mothers. Laudably, Daywalt and Jeffers depict a variety of different families, allowing many readers to feel seen: Black can't contain her love for both her mothers, the hair-covered brownish-beige Barfy Crayon embraces his stepmom, Chunky Toddler (a chubby crayon with a bite taken out of him) pays tribute to his dad on Mother's Day, Yellow and Orange honor their grandmother, and Maroon, presumably adopted, sings the praises of his mom, a pot of glue who literally holds the family together. As in previous Crayon books, Jeffers' elegantly quirky and humorous illustrations complement Daywalt's delightful text, which adeptly balances humor and heart. Another endearing and amusing outing with these winsome characters.(Picture book. 4-8)COPYRIGHT(2024) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
