i heart good stories, October 21, 2008 (view all comments by i heart good stories)
This is the best parable of the call of the artist. It is beautiful in its simple elegance. The illustrations are sublime. I refer to this lovely story all the time in all sorts of contexts with both children and adults. It is one of those stories that lives with you once you have met and read it!
