Ms. Koda-Callan is also an artist  and this year she helps her readers express themselves with drawing in The Artists Palette. Like The Secret Diary  this is two books in one--an illustrated storybook and an artists sketchbook. Nestled in the cover is a silver palette charm on a sturdy silver chain. A tale about creativity and self-esteem  The Artists Palette teaches young readers to value their own uniqueness. When a little girl draws a tree in a different way from her classmates  they wrinkle their noses and laugh at her--and she begins to doubt herself. But her teacher helps the little girl nourish her individuality by giving her a silver palette charm as a reminder to draw what she sees and not what others see. Following the full-color illustrated story is the sketchbook. Partially filled in with drawings of the little girls family  her teacher  her pets  and a party dress  it serves to encourage all readers to look and then draw what they see  and find a way to capture their world in a picture. With its larger format and Wire-O binding that allows it to stay open during drawing sessions  The Artists Palette will become every readers own personal sketchbook  and a place to express herself. For children ages 5-9.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45495954964533,"sku":"ByrdShop_0761113606","price":47.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780761113607.jpg?v=1780904218","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-artists-palette-a-story-and-sketchbook-9780761113607","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
