Description

"Izzy's happiness at creating something of their own and the simple but lively text make for a delightful and engaging read-aloud. A charming stroll through the imagination and a testament to the joys of creativity." -Kirkus Inspired by a museum visit, a young koala decides to make art of their very own in this playful picture book from acclaimed author-artist Tim Miller. Perfect for fans of The Dot, What Do You Do with an Idea, and The Book of Mistakes. Izzy loves the big city-especially the art museum. Izzy is so inspired by the art all around-now it's time to make their own! This joyful celebration of creativity will spark the imagination of every young reader.

Tim Miller is an Australian bestselling children's author living in Sydney. By day, he is a Marketing Manager, and in his spare time he writes hilarious books for kids of all ages. His first picture book, There Is a Monster Under My Bed Who Farts, was an instant hit. He has now published eight picture books, including Dinosaur Dump and Don't Spew in Your Spacesuit. Tim's most recent publications are the four books for emerging readers in the Fart Monster and Me series, and a picture book celebrating fatherhood, Happy Farter's Day.

"The charmingly breezy art depicts Izzy and other figures in thick marker-like lines, giving them a contrasting simplicity to both the complexity of the detailed city in its saturated '70s colors and the paint-like strokes and splatters of Izzy's artwork. Izzy's final piece... underscores the fun of the creative process... and the wry humor playing between text and art is a bonus." - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review) "Rhythmic, declarative sentences and stripped-down characterizations and settings let the creative process and its rewards shine-and, via the artist's spattering, splattering hues, bring new meaning to the term 'flying colors.'" - Publishers Weekly "Izzy's happiness at creating something of his own and the simple but lively text make for a delightful and engaging read-aloud. A charming stroll through the imagination and a testament to the joys of creativity." - Kirkus Reviews
