From the award-winning illustrator of The Stars comes a story about the power of art, and about how being different and true to yourself can change the world.

Sketch is a little boy like no other. His imagination runs wild and he is more rambunctious and creative than most kids his age. He also looks different--very different. As the doctors say, he's "not drawn like other people."

In a perfectly ordered town, where everything has its place and everyone behaves properly at all times, Sketch stands out. While others walk in perfect lines and write in perfect letters, Sketch's creativity spills out everywhere. But despite the support of his parents and his art teacher, he sometimes feels alone.

One day, Sketch changes schools and meets a new group of friends, each different in their own way. Together, they form an inseparable team, ready to explore the world while celebrating who they are.

This charming and powerful book features:
  • An engaging, cartoon style
  • An inspiring message about courage and finding your place in the world
  • Vivid artwork that will make readers want to flip through the pages over and over

Sketch's vibrant personality and unconventional approach to life's challenges is an inspiring reminder that sometimes, doing what everyone else expects, dims our own creativity and joy. This charming book has a simple, but hopeful message: how being true to yourself can change the world.
