Marabella's Moment
What's This Book About
A shy artist helps her classmates see the beauty in the world around them. Because Marabella is shy, she’s often overlooked. But Marabella doesn’t overlook anything–not the puffy clouds, or the birds in the trees, not even her dancing shadows. When she spies some flowers poking up from weeds in the schoolyard, she decides to draw them big enough for others to notice. Chalk in hand, she fills the blank wall with bright spectacular drawings of the simple moments she has seen, which inspires her classmates to notice the world around them.
