When we distributed the paper and crayons, they were fighting over the blue crayon. Everyone wanted to start with the blue, and that was the water. One drawing shows the trees under water. I was really moved.

Meaning of the quote

The kids really wanted to use the blue crayon because they saw it as the color of water. One of the drawings even showed trees underwater, which the actress found very moving. It's interesting how the simple act of giving out art supplies can reveal how young people view the world and express their creativity.
