My Book of Beautiful Oops!, an interactive journal for young artists, and takes that principle into unexpected new directions.

A hands-on journal thats meant to be personalizeddrawn in, painted on, torn up, smudged, or otherwise artistically wreckedMy Book of Beautiful Oops!is filled with folded, crumpled, die-cut, and lift-the-flap pages that will challenge the readers sense of play. The friendly green alligator from the first book prompts the reader: Bend a page. Decorate a smudge. Play with splats and spills. Even complete a poem that was accidentally ripped in half.

My Beautiful Book of Oops!champions imagination, play, and the courage to express oneself. Its about self-forgiveness, about turning off that inner critic that clamors for perfection. And its about freedomthe freedom to be creative and follow your curiosity wherever it goes. Thats a lesson to celebrate.
