Told with poetic simplicity, this book shows how creative imagination - through the use of colour and imagery - can change the world from bad to good.

With a box of coloured crayons and an eraser to rub things out, one child sets out to transform the world. By rubbing out `hunger' and colouring in `wheat', the world can be fed. By rubbing out `crying' and colouring `laughter', the world gets to sing, dance and be joyful.

An unusual and deceptively simple picture book that imagines a world without discrimination, poverty or inequality.
