Marker
Description
Set in the world of the award-winning Eraser, a story about finding your courage and learning that it's OK to fail when you try your best.
Marker is one of the teacher's go-to school supplies. Her work is tip-top, and she always makes a lasting impression. That is, until Pinking Shears, a.k.a. Pink, arrives and dazzles everyone with her sharp creations. No longer the star of the desk, Marker begins to make mistakes. The trouble is, they can't just be erased; her work is permanent, and she's not allowed to fail. Or so she thinks...until a realization helps her rediscover her Marker magic.

About the Author
Husband-and-wife team Anna Kang and Christopher Weyant are the creators of the popular picture books You Are (Not) Small and That's (Not) Mine. Their debut book, You Are (Not) Small, won the Theodor Seuss Geisel Award and was named a Notable Children's Book by the American Library Association. Anna and Christopher live in New Jersey with their two daughters, a guinea pig, and a hermit crab.
Anna, a native New Yorker, received an MFA from USC's School of Cinematic Arts, where the visual storyteller in her was awakened, forever changing the way she saw art, life, and everything in between. Anna has a few secrets--some are juicy but most are boring.
Christopher is a cartoonist and illustrator. His work can regularly be seen in the New Yorker magazine. His cartoons are syndicated worldwide and have been featured on the Today show, Meet the Press, and World News Tonight.
Reviews
"This follow-up from Kang's picture book Eraser offers the sweet message that sometimes one's best efforts can be just as significant as one's successes... The bright watercolor artwork and puns throughout the narrative make an uplifting atmosphere for the reader to empathize and root for Marker as she tries to make the best of things. This is a kind reminder that life gets messy, but teamwork built on individual strengths can create a picture-perfect moment." --The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
