Express yourself! The three best-selling, award-winning picture books in the Creatrilogy by Peter H. Reynolds celebrate the power of original thinking.
Presented in a beautiful boxed set, this trio of hardcover titles
The Dot An enchanting invitation to self-expression! Don’t worry, just make a mark — and see where it takes you.
Ish A creative spirit learns that thinking "ishly" leads to a far more wonderful outcome than "getting it right."
Sky Color The sky’s no limit in this gentle, playful tale — a reminder that if we open our eyes and look beyond the expected, inspiration will come.
These books are a treasure for the creative mind! And not only for children, I fully intend to have them in my own collection. Having led several creativity workshops for adults, I find that these books address the major roadblocks to a creative life that most of us ran up against in childhood and never found a way to get around. Everything from believing in your unique creative vision to dealing with criticism. These books are something you'll want to read and revisit from time to time. Simple, yet powerful!
I absolutely love this set. I first encountered "The Dot" back when I was studying in university and fell absolutely in love with it to the point I scoured every single bookstore I could find for it. It wasn't until my friend in Canada was able to find this box set for me, and I love "Ish" and "Sky Colors" as much. I can't wait for the day my son can enjoy this book with me.
Finally art books for kids that relay the message of art is in everything and art is what you want it to be. It’s personal, it tells a story and comes from you. Great message for kids as they compare themselves to others.
Very easy reading exploring complex themes such as 'I'm brilliant regardless of my abilities' and 'my opinion/perspective matters'. I use these with the children I work with to build self esteem and resilience in an extremely non pressured way.
