Zoom meets Beautiful Oops in this memorable picture book debut about the creative process, and the way in which "mistakes" can blossom into inspirationOne eye was bigger than the other. That was a mistake.
The weird frog-cat-cow thing? It made an excellent bush.
And the inky smudges... they look as if they were always meant to be leaves floating gently across the sky.
As one artist incorporates accidental splotches, spots, and misshapen things into her art, she transforms her piece in quirky and unexpected ways, taking readers on a journey through her process. Told in minimal, playful text, this story shows readers that even the biggest "mistakes" can be the source of the brightest ideas--and that, at the end of the day, we are all works in progress, too. Fans of Peter Reynolds's Ish and Patrick McDonnell's A Perfectly Messed-Up Story will love the funny, poignant, completely unique storytelling of The Book of Mistakes. And, like Oh, The Places You'll Go , it makes the perfect graduation gift, encouraging readers to have a positive outlook as they learn to face life's obstacles.

Although it was a quality made shirt, not happy with the fit and style.
Size: X-Large, Color: Grey Stripe
Order this in an XL size for my son-in-law for Xmas. He isn't overally big, but likes the XL size for a little more roominess. After Xmas he tried it on. Although it was a quality made shirt, he wasn't happy with the fit and style. A no hassle return.

Nice shirt, Fabric is revealing
Size: 3X-Large, Color: Teal 09
Beautiful shirt. Color is lovely. The material, however does reveal any bumps, lumps, or hair you may have on your skin, even with appropriate sizing. I don't think sizing up would help. Very smooth, stretchy material. Comfortable to wear.
