As a reader it was interesting to read this book, and then find out that it is based on the author's life. This book shows the author's passion in life for art, but that doing your own art is more fulfilling. The illustrations, also done by the author show the author and the characters real passion in life, and that he fulfilled his dreams.
This book could be used in the classroom to talk about students strengths and what their dreams in life are. They could write about what they want to be when they grow up, and how they might attain these dreams. The author writes about a job his character took as a sign painter and how he discovered he wasn't happy making other people's art and ideas. This is a good book to share with children to show them to follow their dreams and do what they love and enjoy.
