Description

From the award-winning illustrator of The Stars comes a story about the power of art, and about how being different and true to yourself can change the world.

Sketch is a little boy like no other. His imagination runs wild and he is more rambunctious and creative than most kids his age. He also looks different-very different. As the doctors say, he's "not drawn like other people."

In a perfectly ordered town, Sketch stands out. Despite the support of his parents and his art teacher, Sketch sometimes feels alone. But then he changes schools and meets a new group of friends, each different in their own way. Together, they form an inseparable team, ready to explore the world while celebrating who they are.

This charming and powerful book features:

• An engaging, cartoon style
• An inspiring message about courage and finding your place in the world
• Vivid artwork that will make readers want to flip through the pages over and over
