She ends up finding the confidence and creating wonderful works of art and inspiring other students. ( )

Loved this! I wish I had this book when my kids were young or even when I was young. ( )

A very short book I discovered on Ali Wong's Goodreads summer reads list of recommendations. It is found in the Juvenile section of the library. What a great place for it! The story contains a message that kids are never to young to hear.
It is a story about talking yourself into believing you can not do something until one day, one wise individual shows you that you can.
Speaking of dots, there is a little surprise to this book that is quite appropriate for young kids you have a reason to believe they can't do something. ( )
