Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A creative spirit learns that thinking & quot; ish-ly& quot; is far more wonderful than & quot; getting it right& quot; in this gentle new fable from the creator of the award-winning picture book THE DOT.

Ramon loved to draw. Anytime. Anything. Anywhere.

Drawing is what Ramon does. It& #185; s what makes him happy. But in one split second, all that changes. A single reckless remark by Ramon's older brother, Leon, turns Ramon's carefree sketches into joyless struggles. Luckily for Ramon, though, his little sister, Marisol, sees the world differently. She opens his eyes to something a lot more valuable than getting things just & quot; right.& quot; Combining the spareness of fable with the potency of parable, Peter Reynolds shines a bright beam of light on the need to kindle and tend our creative flames with care.

Synopsis:

For every kid who has ever had trouble sharing a special toy.

Peanut has a new ball and her big sister, Fifi, wants to play with it. Peanut doesn't want to share, so Fifi tries to entice her with the many different imaginary games they could play with the ball--they could tell fortunes, or have a bakery, or let a seal balance the ball on its nose! Peanut is NOT convinced, until Fifi comes up with a spectacular imaginary adventure that Peanut can't refuse: a trip to space! But is it too late for her to join the game? 

Illustrated in bold graphics and bright colors by an illustrator Maurice Sendak calls "an artist with a superb eye for line and composition," here's a story where the older sibling doesn't always have the upper hand.

About the Author

Peter H. Reynolds is the president and creative director of FableVision

Studios, the illustrator of the best-selling Judy Moody series, and the

author and illustrator of THE DOT. "Nothing irks me more than seeing a

person's creativity get shut down," he says. "Through my books, I want to help give kids — and grown-up kids — the vocabulary to protect their exploration, in art, writing, and thinking."

Jennifer Starkman, July 7, 2007 (view all comments by Jennifer Starkman)
In Ish, we meet Ramon, who is in many ways Vashti?s opposite: a little boy who would happily draw all the time, making pictures of anything and everything that he encounters. In Ramon?s case, the problems start when his older brother laughs at one of Ramon?s drawings, insisting that it looks nothing like what it is supposed to be. Ramon?s pride and confidence wane, and dissatisfaction sets in. It takes the wisdom of a younger sister who sees the real value of Ramon?s pictures to inspire him to pick up his coloured pencils once again.
