Ramon loves to paint – until the day his brother laughs at him. Hurt, Ramon tries to paint better and better, until he finally gives up. He just can't paint "properly." His little sister sees it quite differently. She loves Ramon's pictures and shows him the way back to his passion: Ramon may not paint the perfect vase or the perfect house, but his pictures are vase-me and house-me – and that's what makes them special. As in "The Dot" and "Sky Color," Peter H. Reynolds encourages his readers to believe in their own creative power and to steadfastly follow their own path.
