The Author likes things perfect. The Artist just wants to have fun!
When the Author enters his best friend in an art contest, he's sure the Artist will create something perfect enough to win. But once the paint starts flying, things get a little... messy.
As the Artist continues creating in his own unique way, the Author begins to discover that art doesn't have to be perfect to be meaningful.
The Author & The Artist: A Perfect Mess is a fun and colorful story about friendship, creativity, self-expression, and learning to let go of perfection.
Perfect for young readers who love art, creativity, and being themselves.
