How many people know that
the inventor of crayons from
Westchester County in New
York state also played a
big role on the Treasure
Coast?
The intriguing story of
Edwin Binney and the invention
of Crayola Crayons
— and dustless white
chalk for use in schools
— is told in a picture book
called The Crayon Man: The
True Story of the Invention of
Crayola Crayons. He loved the
bright colors of flowers and translated
them into the colored sticks that
Edwin Binney
children still draw with today. His wife named them Crayolas.
Binney eventually bought citrus groves in St. Lucie County
and built a home at Indrio. He also played a major role in cutting
through Hutchinson Island to create the Fort Pierce Inlet. Price:
About $11 to $16 >>
The Crayon Man by Natascha Biebow tells the story of Crayola crayons.
