If you've ever heard your child groan that they are bored, you are going to want to have this book on hand! Maybe Makes an Artist takes readers on a journey to shift their mindsets and embrace those boring moments, learning to turn it into an opportunity to explore and grow! In this colorful book illustrated with whimsical watercolor scenes, Addie begins to complain she is bored and her mother encourages her to just grab a paint brush and see what happens. The book shows readers a variety of creative mediums from fashion design to clay sculpting and poetry writing, showcasing famous artists and their masterpieces all while Addie is creating her own works for art. In the end Addie is left inspired, confident, and ready to take on her next creative adventure as she shows her mom the book she created (the book you just read!). This book serves as a great teaching tool to encourage kids to understand that they have the power in their hands to dream big, just like Addie, the real life character, who at age 7 decided she wanted to publish a book.
