Ish by Peter Reynolds

Here is a book which I found interesting and poignant as the theme is around making your "mistakes" into masterpieces to celebrate.  A frustrated doodler is confronted by his sister's admiration of what he thinks are garbage drawings which inspires him.  This book would help children who are anxious about making mistakes, who struggle with perfectionism and what follows: procrastination.  Where this new-found freedom of expression takes him, is exciting and inspirational.   My wife found this at Value Village and I have used it with anxious children.
