Ish

Book • 2004
In 'Ish', Ramon, a young artist, struggles with self-doubt after his brother criticizes his drawings.

However, his sister Marisol helps him see the beauty in imperfection, teaching him that it's okay if his drawings are not perfect but rather 'ish'.

This realization reignites Ramon's passion for art and encourages him to create freely.

The book is part of Peter H. Reynolds's 'Creatrilogy', which also includes 'The Dot' and 'Sky Color', promoting themes of creativity and self-expression.
