"As an artist creatively incorporates her slipups into a drawing, readers see the ways in which 'mistakes' can provide inspiration and opportunity, and reveal that both the art and artist are works-in-progress"--

The Book of Mistakes

"From moments of great joy and exuberance to necessary times of quiet contemplation, your heart is your guide"--

The Tree in Me

Un dessin. Une tache. Oh, non ! Dans ce livre, tout a commencé par une erreur. Une ode à l'imaginaire et à la créativité qui nous rappelle que des plus grosses erreurs naissent parfois les idées les plus brillantes. [4e de couv.]

Le livre des erreurs

A stunning and sensitive portrait of the strength within each of us and the nourishment we receive from the natural world, by the New York Times bestselling creator of the acclaimed My Heart and The Book of Mistakes Through poetic text and exquisite illustrations of children reveling in nature, this picture book explores the various ways we as human beings are strong, creative, and connected to others. Each of us is like a tree, with roots and fruit, and an enduring link to everything else in nature. "The tree in me is strong. It bends in the wind, and has roots that go deep . . . to where other roots reach up toward their own trunk-branch-crown and sky." As Corinna Luyken did in her award-winning My Heart, she again provides an invigorating conversation-starter that contains a world of truths--about self-esteem, community, and living a meaningful life.
