A creative spirit learns that thinking "ish-ly" is far more wonderful
than "getting it right" in this gentle fable from the creator of the
award-winning picture book The Dot.
Ramon loved to draw. Anytime. Anything. Anywhere.
Drawing is what Ramon does. It's what makes him happy. But in one split
second, all that changes. A single reckless remark by Ramon's older
brother, Leon, turns Ramon's carefree sketches into joyless struggles.
Luckily for Ramon, though, his little sister, Marisol, sees the world
differently. She opens his eyes to something a lot more valuable than
getting things just "right." Combining the spareness of fable with the
potency of parable, Peter Reynolds shines a bright beam of light on the
need to kindle and tend our creative flames with care.
