Description

After an exciting day at the museum, Angel is inspired! With all the art supplies he can gather, he knows the dinosaur he draws will be perfect. But soon, fear and frustration take root - why can't he seem to draw exactly what he sees in his head And even worse, what if he keeps making mistakes It's through some emotional self expression and a little encouragement that Angel begins to explore and appreciate the process of making art. Then of course, he can create something he is proud of, even if it's not perfect. This sophomore title from upcoming storyteller Pavonis Giron (A Rainbow in Brown) employs innovative art techniques to explore the joys of the creative process.
