Ish (Creatrilogy)
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.
Beautiful message behind this book. Gift it to yourself when you are in self doubt, gift it to the adults in your life who think theyll never be good enough and to the little ones in your life who are figuring out what they like.
I so much like this book because it was the first read ever recommended by my 6yo daughter. She read "Dot" at school and, when we bought it, she told me the author had another very good book, Ish, I should read. We have it at home now.The story is similar to Dot, or the other way around, as Ish predates Dot. Still, tt drives the message of fostering creativity and that art doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to be ours. Great book.
A picture book that points out that perfectionism is the enemy of creativity.
A picture book for all ages about living life "ish-ly". We all know about the kind of thinking that insists that kids draw "within the lines" or follow precisely the given outline or form in their writing. This is a standardized school/home approach that can do great damage to some kids. In this book Ramon draws all the time; one day his older brother laughs at his drawing of a vase: "what's that supposed to be?!" and Ramon crumples up all his drawings, feeling failure. But his sister collects
A reminder that perfection is rarely the goal and that art is subjective
I was truly touched by this book--probably because I can empathize with our hero's artistic soul! Ramon draws with a carefree, passionate spirit--until his brother makes fun of one of his drawings, saying it looks nothing like the vase Ramon was sketching. Crushed, Ramon seems to lose his muse, and begins crumpling up his future artistic endeavors. But one day he realizes there is someone who truly enjoys his work--she says that even if the drawing doesn't look like a perfect vase, it looks
