<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Cary denounces his abilities and wishes he could draw well, but when he actually tries to draw a story about subjects that he likes, he finds that he isn't so bad.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The narrator of <i>I Wish I Could Draw</i> shares a name with creator Cary Fagan and has the same curly hair and glasses. Perhaps most interesting of all, though, the narrator believes he has no artistic talent -- just like the Cary Fagan, who not only wrote but also bravely and exuberantly illustrated this book. Fortunately for readers, both Cary-the-narrator and Cary-the-children's-book-creator refused to let self-doubt stop them from trying to tell (and draw) the funniest and most exciting story they could think of. The result is a book that delivers plenty of excitement, silly jokes, and fun -- and also an important message about self-confidence and perseverance. Designed to look like a child's notebook, <i>I Wish I Could Draw</i> will inspire readers to pick up a pencil and let their imaginations do the rest.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>This friendly volume, told in the first person and directly addressing readers, is sure to encourage the perfectionist artist and wannabe cartoonist alike. Draw on! -- <i>Kirkus Reviews</i> <p/>By book's end, readers will recognize that, amid all the self-abasement, Fagan is encouraging them to scribble, doodle, and draw away, without worrying whether their art is 'good' enough. -- <i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/>The upbeat ending will inspire wanna-be artists and storytellers to reconsider their own skills. -- <i>School Library Journal</i> <p/>A terrific picture book for the younger set. Recommended. -- <i>Library Media Connections</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>An award-winning author of books for children and adults, <b>Cary Fagan</b> has won the Jewish Book Award and the World Storytelling Award. He lives in Toronto.<br>
