Peter the Pen

Peter is a whiteboard marker pen who sits on the shelf of the teacher’s whiteboard easel. He is alone and, at night, he often hears the chatter and giggles of the felt pens in a container on the children’s table. He longs to join them. But how can he? Peter is very lonely. One night something very magical happens, something Peter never ever dreamt would happen.
