A child doesn't believe she can create art and is motivated by her teacher. She then motivates other students to believe in themselves.

Oh my gosh, what a beautiful book! I cried. I can't wait to have children and read this book to them over and over again. This is the type of book that inspires beautiful creativity.

The simplicity of the illustrations of this picture book make the message all the more powerful. Artistic, creative, and generous souls will adore this book. It teaches themes of confidence, encouragement, and individuality.

As a child and now adult who never felt that I was good at art this book really hit home. I love that we can teach children that trying and curiosity are what truly make them great. That something that seems so simply can turn into something extraordinary. And that they too can help teach someone else how to soar.
