This book is written so thoughtfully and beautifully. I have a tendency to try and make “perfect” art and applying mindfulness into sketching has really helped me stay present. My kids (age 6 and 8) also love this book! They have been sketching at the park and it’s been amazing. ALSO, the pages lay flat when you open the book so you can actually sketch while reading without the pages flapping back down. A small but amazing detail! Thank you for this book, Peggy!
