K-3
Illustrated by
Felicita Sala.
Rather than being discouraged or intimidated by other students with greater drawing skills, a child realizes that coloring can convey just as much as, if not more than, drawing. Sala's illustrations demonstrate how varying color, line thickness, and intensity can indicate different emotions. Lehrhaupt ends the book on an open-ended invitation to explore the color wheel and look past self-perceived artistic limitations.
