| Publisher Description: What a gorgeous painting, exclaimed the judge of Ms. Fair's first-grade art contest. What a beautiful rabbit! For Emily, the words are a shock. Her painting is of her dog, Thor. Not a rabbit. But instead of thinking: What's wrong with this judge? Emily takes the words, and the judgment, to heart. Just as she takes her art. Not everyone, not Ms. Fair, or even Emily's best friend, Kelly, can see that. At first. |
