Written for ages 3-8, but adult artists and artist-wanna-bes LOVE these inspirational books!THE DOT: Art class is over, but Vashti is sitting glued to her chair in front of a blank piece of paper. The words of her teacher are a gentle invitation to express herself. But Vashti can’t draw - she’s no artist. To prove her point, Vashti jabs at a blank sheet of paper to make an unremarkable and angry mark. "There!" she says. A dot. The next day, when Vashti walks into art class, what's hanging on the wall above her teacher's desk? Her dot! Vashti knows she can make a better dot than that. So she does something she has never done before: she opens her set of watercolors and gets down to work. Before Vashti knows it, her work is on display at the school art show, and everybody goes dotty over her masterpieces - including a boy who wishes he could draw as well as Vashti. Fortunately, she knows exactly how to help him. With its artful, expressive illustrations and totally relatable main character, this book tells the tale of a girl who learns that talent and inspiration can begin with the tiniest spark. Confidence and self-expression don't always come automatically. Sometimes they have to be worked at. Young Vashti paints the way - and connects the dots - in this inspiring book about what it really means to succeed. One little dot marked the beginning of Vashti’s journey of surprise and self-discovery. That special moment is the core of Peter H. Reynolds’s delicate fable about the creative spirit in all of us.ISH: A creative spirit learns that thinking "ish-ly" is far more wonderful than "getting it right" in this gentle new fable from the creator of the award-winning picture book The Dot. Ramon loved to draw. Anytime. Anything. Anywhere. Drawing is what Ramon does. It¹s 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. "Will encourage other young artists." - Kirkus SKY COLOR: The sky's no limit as the author-illustrator winds up his Creatrilogy with a whimsical tale about seeing the world a new way. Marisol loves to paint. So when her teacher asks her to help make a mural for the school library, she can't wait to begin! But how can Marisol make a sky without the missing blue paint? After gazing out the bus window and watching from her porch as day turns into night, she closes her eyes and starts to dream. . . From the award-winning Peter H. Reynolds comes a gentle, playful reminder that if we keep our hearts open and look beyond the expected, creative inspiration will come. Free Shipping in the U.S. by USPS First Class
