AlbakiReads Editorial

A dinosaur drawing, and the freedom to make mistakes

A museum visit sparks Angel’s plan to draw a dinosaur, but the picture in his imagination proves difficult to put on paper. As frustration grows, the story turns its attention to the gap between an idea and its imperfect first attempts. Art supplies and the act of drawing give the book a child-centered way to explore creativity, mistakes, and the pleasure of making something. Its subject is not simply the finished picture, but the process Angel goes through while trying to create it.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 interested in drawing and art
  • Young readers working through frustration when a creative project does not match their expectations
  • Families and educators looking for a picture book about the creative process

Book overview

After an exciting day at the museum, Angel is inspired! With all the art supplies he can gather, he knows the dinosaur he draws will be perfect. But soon, fear and frustration take root - why can't he seem to draw exactly what he sees in his head? And even worse, what if he keeps making mistakes?

This sophomore title from upcoming storyteller Pavonis Giron (A Rainbow in Brown) employs innovative art techniques to explore the joys of the creative process.
