Bad Drawer by Seth Fishman

Seth has a great story idea but there is just one problem, he can’t draw. He does have a lot of friends that are really good at drawing, but Seth is a bad drawer. What if he teams up with his friends to tell his story about the mouse named Bailey and Catbird half cat, half bird?

Different illustrators contributed to the making of this book and are the friends that are good at drawing mentioned in the story. The illustrations showed the different styles of the illustrators as they were introduced to the story.

The theme of working together and playing to each others strengths was effective. I do wish that it was emphasized that even his simple drawings were clear and we all can draw, especially considering the audience the book is geared towards.
