    Ramon is a boy who enjoys drawing but then is discouraged because he doesn't think his drawings are just right. His whole outlook is changed when he finds out his sister keeps all his drawings and hangs them on her wall and tells him that they look related to what they should be but different. This is a good realistic fiction because Ramon and his family are made up but also his story is realistic. I would use this for primary and intermediate. Watercolor and Ink.

    excellent!

    This book is an awesome way to encourage children to draw and write. It shows that you don't have to be perfect, and how being an encourager can change lives. It is a very positive book and shows character growth.

    When Ramon's older brother makes a dismissive comment about one of his drawings, the budding young artist finds that his confidence has been shaken, and that, from then on, nothing he produces seems to look "right." Then one day, his younger sister makes off with one of his crumpled efforts, and - in the process of trying to retrieve it - he discovers that visual verisimilitude is not always necessary. Who cares if his drawing doesn't look exactly like a vase? It looks "vase-ish..."Following upon The Dot - another picture-book that encourages artistic creativity in children - Peter H. Reynolds offers a charming story aimed at reassuring young artists who are doubting their own abilities. The accompanying line drawings, embellished with watercolor, are simple but expressive, capturing the emotion of each scene. I liked the message here - that perfection isn't required to create something worthwhile - and appreciated Reynolds' sensitivity to the fact that young children can be deeply effected by words of encouragement - or discouragement.

    Fantastic little book! Ish proves that anyone can be artists in their own sense as long as they are confident and proud of what they do. I had a smile on my face the whole time I was reading this.
