Sadie loves to create, but her best friend, Tom, paints
beautiful pictures. When Sadie tries to
paint, none of her work turns out even a little bit as good as Tom’s. She feels discouraged, until she tries
something completely different and realizes that her method of expression, her
garden art, is a completely distinct form.
She discovers that her art involves creating with the natural world –
painting beautiful landscapes with flowers.
This celebration of creativity, of differences is a neat
lesson about the variety of creative expression. Use it to show children that just because
they aren’t great at one form of art, or sport, or school lesson, they can
still excel at their personal strengths.
