As an artist, Corinna Luyken knows that mistakes happen. But some children crumple their papers and toss them with each perceived error.

The illustrator takes each mistake and incorporates it into an expanding drawing until, voila, there is a magnificent two-page spread. But, she doesn’t stop there. The ending will surprise and delight and leave young children with the confidence to go make their own mistakes.
From Claire's list on accepting imperfection.
