A work of art where a single mistake blossoms into inspiration
He incorporates small specks, dots, and unknown objects into his work, transforming them in bizarre and unexpected ways, taking the reader on a journey through his work.
This story shows that even the biggest 'mistakes' can be the source of the greatest 'ideas'.
Ultimately, we are all unfinished works in progress.
If you're a fan of Peter Reynolds and Patrick McDonnell, you'll love this book's funny, witty, and original story.
Moreover, when we encounter obstacles in life, we are given a positive outlook that encourages us to not be discouraged and to constantly take on new challenges.

A book recommended for children who are bound to make many mistakes.
My five-year-old daughter was drawing something when she made an irreparable mistake and threw the paper on the ground in tears.
The writer felt pain at seeing that sight and kept it in his memory for a long time.
I also learned the power of mistakes by watching elementary school children draw and transform objects.

A great book I recommend to all children, especially those who love to draw.
I especially recommend it to children who struggle with perfectionism.
Mistakes don't need to be hidden or concealed, just take a good look at how you can embrace them to create something beautiful.

One thing is certain: your children will see their mistakes in a new and positive light.
Mistakes are not fear, but the seeds of new challenges.


A picture book you'll want to own, with its minimalist illustrations and the beauty of blank space.
The refined text, cool blank spaces, and clumsy brush strokes that seem to have been drawn incorrectly on a large plate are impressive.
The artist primarily used ink and watercolor, and developed a love for the pencil marks and stripes that emerged from this work.
Especially the 'zoom in, zoom out' style of the several floor spreads that follow in the latter part provides a springboard for an interesting discussion about imagination.

This book proves that picture books have no age restrictions and are the perfect gift for yourself or someone else.
