""[E]xploratory text strikes an intimate chord that should immediately put any audience at ease, extending into ideas about consciousness and self-discovery, and aligning the act with everything from 'focusing' to 'growing' to 'magic.' . . . It’s like having a series of conversations with a cool, totally nonjudgmental, knows-the-ropes friend."" —STARRED REVIEW, Publishers Weekly ""An inspirational primer on the art of drawing showing how the art form is for everyone. In mostly black-and-white, sketched illustrations, this work celebrates imagination and individuality. With philosophical text, an unnamed child shares with potential artists encouraging prompts and inspirational guidance to find their inner creator and silence their inner critic."" —School Library Journal ""[F]rom the very first page, it challenges young (and older) readers to think about what it means to use your imagination in a visual form. . . . [T]his is one of the best, most complete, books on the subject I have seen, a truly essential work."" —Imaginary Elevators
