The Book of Mistakes - Corinna Luyken

Descriere

nZoom meets Beautiful Oops in this memorable picture book debut about the creative process, and the way in which mistakes can blossom into inspiration n nOne eye was bigger than the other. That was a mistake. n The weird frog-cat-cow thing? It made an excellent bush. n And the inky smudges... they look as if they were always meant to be leaves floating gently across the sky. n nAs one artist incorporates accidental splotches, spots, and misshapen things into her art, she transforms her piece in quirky and unexpected ways, taking readers on a journey through her process. Told in minimal, playful text, this story shows readers that even the biggest mistakes can be the source of the brightest ideas--and that, at the end of the day, we are all works in progress, too. nFans of Peter Reynolds's Ish and Patrick McDonnell's A Perfectly Messed-Up Story will love the funny, poignant, completely unique storytelling of The Book of Mistakes. And, like Oh, The Places You'll Go , it makes the perfect graduation gift, encouraging readers to have a positive outlook as they learn to face life's obstacles.n
