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.

小男孩雷蒙癡迷畫畫，哥哥卻嘲笑他的畫根本不合規(guī)矩，沮喪的雷蒙嘗試讓自己的畫看起來更“像”，卻完全迷失了方向。很偶然地，雷蒙在妹妹的提示下發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的作品很有“味兒”，他開始明白畫畫要追求的并不是“形似”，而是“味道”；他更明白了生活的本質(zhì)在于感受有“味兒”的世界。
本書從一開始的封面設(shè)計就別出心裁，讀者必須仔細(xì)研究一下才能“認(rèn)出”書名，而且要耐著性子等到讀到文章的中段時才會明了這個書名的由來。本書是The Dot的作者又一部鼓勵人創(chuàng)作的作品，一貫地以充滿童趣的簡單筆觸以及清淡的色彩來描繪插畫，文字也以手寫字來呈現(xiàn)，獨具個人特色。
