• Inspiration Comes From Within & Not An Object 16 October, 2004
When Emma was born as a baby gift she was given a plain creme colored rug that her Mother put by her crib. As Emma grew she began to draw beautiful pictures and won many awards. Emma got her inspiration and what to draw from her rug. One day while at school, her mother finds her rug while she was in Emma's room and found the rug was dirty and washed it. When Emma came home and found her rug missing she was upset, and even more upset after the rug came out of the dryer, smaller, clean and not fluffy. Emma's insipartion for her drawings was no longer there..... and finally one day after throwing all of her artwork, awards and supplies in the trash as well the rug.....she finally again sees and feels " her Inspiration" and realizes that creativity come from within, not from an object.
This is my 1st Allen Say book, and I really am impressed! Here's to more great books.
