Can a lost box of crayons help a lonely unicorn regain his colour?
A shy unicorn has a hard time making friends. In his sadness, his colours start to fade away until they are gone completely. Worrying that he may never get back his colours or make true friends, the unicorn finds himself lost and alone.
It is not until he comes across a group of spunky crayons that his world changes. The crayons band together to help their new friend get back his colours, and in the process play and have fun.
The crayons' helping generosity and friendship may just be what the unicorn has been missing!
