[Rosa Cline · Rating 3 out of 5]

When Ruby starts to paint a nature picture of a tree one by one her friends come along and want to be painted in the picture too. But when they see the results they are all unhappy because she didn't paint the 'best part of them' but then they realize she actually did.

Cute book illustrating the struggles an artist faces when their vision for their artwork doesn't match with their friend's ideas.
