Ish by Peter H Reynolds

Ish is a fantastic book about creativity and following one's dreams. Ramon is a young boy who loves to draw, "Anytime. Anything. Anywhere." When his older brother makes fun of his drawings, Ramon becomes discouraged and almost gives up. His younger sister sees Ramon's skill and love of drawing and encourages his brother. Ramon's love for drawing grows and extends to other creative endeavors. This book shows how other's words have such strong power over us. The whimsical drawings capture the spirit of the book wonderfully.
