Description
Sarah, 8, loves to draw.
When Mrs. Earl catches her drawing a picture in math class, the entire Second Grade discovers her talent. Soon her classmates begin to ask her to draw pictures for them (strange ones, like porcupines driving race cars and unicorns with wings).
Then, everyone in the whole school bombards her with requests for drawings, until it becomes too terribly overwhelming! Reacting from the mounting pressure, her hand mysteriously stops working. Can Sarah set boundaries with her classmates, and create art that comes from her own heart?
Empower any little artists that you know with this story.
Reviews:
School Arts Magazine says,
“This book could be just the ticket to inspire discussions centered around patronage in the arts, the importance of self-expression, expressionistic use of color, as well as the career of the artist-illustrator.” May/June 2014
“A great encouragement for any young artist who may feel categorized and pushed to creating art that does not reflect their own personality. I would like to thank M.D. Savran…for dealing with the heart and soul of the youngster artists for making this for them, for harbouring these sometimes fragile but terribly intelligent individuals.” – Goodreads.com
“A great book that teaches one to be yourself, and that one’s passion should never be hindered by others. I gave the book to my seven years old cousin, and she seems to enjoy it very much. She is currently having fun drawing on the blank pages in the book.” – Goodreads.com
“The most important lesson of all for an artist: Be true to yourself! I recommend it to all the parents who have talented kids!” – Goodreads.com
“I received this book from Goodreads First Reads. This is a very sweet book for kids who love to draw and everyone wants them to draw a picture for them. It gives a child some good advice at the end of the story.” – Goodreads.com
