Reach for this book when your child is feeling discouraged by their creative efforts or when they are deeply immersed in the world of 'make-believe' where their drawings feel like living things. It is a perfect choice for the young artist who needs to see that their unique perspective is a gift, even if it causes a bit of chaos along the way. The story follows Henri, a mouse with a big dream of becoming an artist in Paris. However, his talent is so extraordinary that his paintings actually absorb the real objects he depicts, leaving a trail of empty spaces and confused neighbors. This whimsical tale explores the power of imagination and the importance of finding a place where one's talents are celebrated rather than feared. It is a gentle, humorous exploration of identity and the magical nature of the creative process, suitable for children ages 4 to 8 who are discovering their own voices.
