Seymour Snail hopes to become a great artist. Though he's shy about his aspiration, his friends' encouragement gives Seymour the confidence to pursue his art. He takes an entry-level job at a fancy gallery, and soon the artist in him begins to bloom. This upbeat story, illustrated with attentive black-and-white drawings, encourages young readers to follow their dreams.
