It's a colorful and inspiring read for any young, budding artist.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The primary sensitive topic is mild peer criticism. A classmate calling Isabella's art "silly" is a focal point of the emotional conflict. The approach is direct but gentle, and the resolution is overwhelmingly positive and affirming. The narrative provides a healthy model for processing and overcoming such comments with the help of a supportive adult.
