Su maestra sonrió. «Solo haz una marca y verás adónde te lleva». La clase de arte terminó, pero Vashti estaba sentada pegada a su silla frente a una hoja en blanco. Las palabras de su maestra eran una amable invitación a expresarse. Pero Vashti no sabía dibujar; no era artista. Para demostrarlo, Vashti golpeó una hoja en blanco para hacer una marca común y corriente, llena de ira. «¡Listo!», dijo. Ese pequeño punto marca el comienzo del viaje de sorpresa y autodescubrimiento de Vashti. Ese momento especial es el núcleo de la delicada fábula de Peter H. Reynolds sobre el espíritu creativo que todos llevamos dentro.

In addition to the book's subtle art lesson (imagine the skies of Vincent van Gogh, for example), readers have the opportunity to compare and contrastallthe paintings done in Sophie's class. In the end, the students learn there are many different ways to interpret the world - and each other. Here is a simple story that tackles the common issue of hurt feelings as it gently helps us to be more kind.
