A creative spirit learns that thinking "ish-ly" is far more wonderful than "getting it right" in this gentle new fable from the creator of the award-winning picture book THE DOT.

Ramon loved to draw. Anytime. Anything. Anywhere.

Drawing is what Ramon does. It¹s what makes him happy. But in one split second, all that changes. A single reckless remark by Ramon's older brother, Leon, turns Ramon's carefree sketches into joyless struggles. Luckily for Ramon, though, his little sister, Marisol, sees the world differently. She opens his eyes to something a lot more valuable than getting things just "right." Combining the spareness of fable with the potency of parable, Peter Reynolds shines a bright beam of light on the need to kindle and tend our creative flames with care.

本书从一开始的封面设计就别出心裁，读者必须仔细研究一下才能“认出”书名，而且要耐着性子等到读到文章的中段时才会明了这个书名的由来。本书是The Dot的作者又一部鼓励人创作的作品，一贯地以充满童趣的简单笔触以及清淡的色彩来描绘插画，文字也以手写字来呈现，独具个人特色。
