“The Stone Soup of collaborative creativity–eight thumbs up!”–Jessica Love, author of Julián Is a Mermaid “Bad Drawer is inspiring for every kind of drawer, and it is such a fun, creative way to show what can happen when we work together with our friends.” –Nathan Pyle, #1 New York Times bestselling creator of Strange Planet A hilarious and gorgeous picture book by A Hundred Billion Trillion Stars author Seth Fishman, following a bad drawer who works together with his friends to help bring his wildest stories to life. Seth has a super fantastic story in his head. A story so completely awesome and unbelievably amazing that he needs to get it out on paper and share it with the world right away. There’s only one problem: He’s a bad drawer. Like, really bad. He’s tried and tried, but his illustrations are never quite like he imagined when they actually land on the page. But he has an idea that might fix things: What if his friends help him bring his story to life? A delightful picture book featuring work from award-winning illustrators Jessixa Bagley, Armand Baltazar, Anna Bond, Travis Foster, Jessica Hische, Tillie Walden, and Ethan Young, Bad Drawer will make readers laugh out loud and embrace their flaws – while also having quite a bit of fun in the process.
