About This Book
Ramon loves to draw - until his brother laughs at one of his pictures, and he crumples up his work in frustration. When his younger sister Marisol rescues his discarded drawings and shows him that they look "-ish" (vase-ish, tree-ish), Ramon discovers a liberating new way to see his art. Peter H. Reynolds delivers a gentle message about creativity and self-expression.
Why We Love This
We read this one whenever perfectionism creeps in - it's such a beautiful reminder that art doesn't have to be perfect to be wonderful, and kids really take that message to heart.
