With a simple, witty story and free-spirited illustrations, Peter H. Reynolds entices even the stubbornly uncreative among us to make a mark — and follow where it takes us. Her teacher smiled. "Just make a mark and see where it takes you." Art class is over, but Vashti is sitting glued to her chair in front of a blank piece of paper. The words of her teacher are a gentle invitation to express herself. But Vashti can’t draw - she’s no artist. To prove her point, Vashti jabs at a blank sheet of paper to make an unremarkable and angry mark. "There!" she says. That one little dot marks the beginning of Vashti’s journey of surprise and self-discovery. That special moment is the core of Peter H. Reynolds’s delicate fable about the creative spirit in all of us. Review: It is important to believe in ourselves and have right facilitators - It is a beautiful and very relevant concept to teach to children that we all can excel at something if we believe in ourselves and make an attempt. Also, there is great need of facilitators in this world where the young ones are increasing told about what they cannot do or are not good at. A kid who believes that she is not good at art is encouraged by her teacher to draw a dot and how that dot inspires the artist in the kid. And to bring a beautiful end to the story the girl in turn inspires another kid who thinks he cannot draw and starts his artistic career with a line. Go ahead and read this simple and beautifully illustrated book to your young mind. These concepts will help them in building confidence in future.

all'artista che è dentro di noi
Libro emozionante e motivante, semplice ma molto profondo, adatto ad ogni età. La storia racconta di una bambina che crede di non sapere disegnare, alla quale la maestra chiede semplicemente di disegnare un punto, cosa che lei affronta come una sfida. Quando poi la maestra, dopo averle chiesto di firmarlo, appende il suo disegno in classe, incorniciato in una bella cornice d'oro, la bimba riesce a vedere il disegno con altri occhi e a prenderci gusto, tant'è che inizia a dipingere punti sempre più grandi e diversi, di ogni dimensione e colore, che vengono poi esposti in una sua "personale". Questo libro insegna che gli sforzi devono sempre essere apprezzati e onorati, e che bisogna spingersi oltre le convenzioni. Inoltre, grazie al successo ottenuto, la protagonista si scoprirà curiosa e volenterosa nel sostenere gli altri a risvegliare lo spirito creativo innato in ognuno di noi. Le illustrazioni ad acquarello e inchiostro sono molto simpatiche ed essenziali. In alcune pagine le parole si perdono nel bianco del foglio, ma credo che l'effetto fosse voluto dall'autore, per rafforzare il messaggio forte e significativo. Da non perdere.

Muy buena lección
"Inténtalo" es una lección tan simple y muchas veces tan complicada de aplicar. Da igual que no seas el mejor o que directamente seas malo, si no lo intentas nunca mejorarás en nada. Bravo por esta magnífica historia.

Herzerwärmend freundlich, weil es besonnen zum Nachdenken anregt!
Liebevolles und mutmachendes Buch für Kinder aber auch für Eltern. Es ist toll gelten zu lassen, wie ein Kind in in die Welt blickt, so aufzubauen, den Schaffensprozess gelten zu lassen, erstmal das Ziel in der Arbeit mit der Muse nicht die Muse zu verschrecken. Niedlich und herzerwärmend schön! Ich habe das Buch gekauft und prompt nachgeschaut, ob ich meine ersten Bilder mit Namen versehen habe. Hatte ich nicht. Also habe ich es nachgeholt. Eine bereichernde Botschaft für jung und alt. Auch als Geburtstagskarte zum Start eines Projektes passend!
