The Book of Mistakes
Children's Book

Accidental splotches, spots, and misshapen things turn into inspiration in this memorable picture book debut about the creative process.

Each page transforms in quirky and unexpected ways, taking readers on a journey through the author's process.

Told in minimal, playful text, this story shows readers that even the biggest “mistakes” can be the source of the brightest ideas—and that, at the end of the day, we are all works in progress, too.
