About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is on the verge of a creative breakthrough or struggling with the fear of making a mistake. It is an ideal choice for the preschooler who has just discovered the magic of a fresh box of crayons or a blank sheet of paper and needs a gentle nudge toward self-expression. The story follows Ruby as she navigates the exciting, sometimes overwhelming process of creating her very first painting. Through her journey, the book explores themes of personal choice, the pride of accomplishment, and the beauty of seeing a project through from start to finish. It is a warm, age-appropriate celebration of a child's growing autonomy. Parents will appreciate how it validates a child's artistic vision, making it a perfect tool for building confidence in young makers who are learning to trust their own creative instincts.
