Along the way, each of the friends face challenges that help them realize their unique gifts. In the end, the creatures discover that the treasure has been inside of them all along.

Poor Duncan just wants to color. But when he opens his box of crayons, he finds only letters, all saying the same thing: His crayons have had enough! They quit!

And Orange and Yellow are no longer speaking—each believes he is the true color of the sun.

It's way past bedtime o'clock in Cutesville . . . . but somebody can't sleep. The harder he tries to nod off, the more wide awake Love Monster is, and the later and darker and spookier it gets.

So Love Monster musters up his courage . . . . and discovers that the something scary isn't so scary after all. It's just his friend coming to pay Love Monster a visit. Turns out Love Monster's pal couldn't sleep, either.

We’re not all the same. Thank goodness we’re not. Life would be boring, and I mean… a lot. And so, when we’re born, we’re supplied at the start with our own bells and whistles to set us apart. Think of your bells as the things you do best things tucked away in your own treasure chest. Part of growing up is discovering―and embracing―what makes us unique. From different abilities to different personalities, we are all wonderfully made with our own bells and whistles.

We know our children are special, and now the incomparable Nancy Tillman expresses this universal feeling in the most touching of ways: Every child is born with a crown. The crown is everything that gives us unique value. Our crown will always be with us wherever we go, whatever we do.
