<b>A sumptuously illustrated exploration of the joy that comes with creating art for one's own self</b><br><br><i>There once was a time when all the colors from midsummer blue to sunrise orange lived at the tips of Annie's fingers...</i><br><br>But when her classmates' sidelong glances cause Annie to notice all the tiny flaws in her art her colorful creative spark fades--quite literally--to gray. With lyrical prose and eye-catching illustration author-artist Lisa Anchin shows readers how to find the beauty in imperfections and celebrate the joy of creation for creations' sake.
