I think the world is a beautiful place and I want to paint it! I see people and places and lots of wonderful things that make me want to get out my watercolors and make a picture. I have lots of feelings and thoughts and dreams inside of me. I like to take care of myself, too. I've noticed than when I don't take care of myself, my art isn't as pretty. I can usually tell when I need to take a look inside and take care of a part of myself. When I feel yucky, there are lots of things I can do to find out where the 'yuck' is coming from and how to feel better. Taking care of myself is very important! ...Come read my book and see!

	I like to draw. I like to paint and color and do just about anything that brings a new picture into the world! Iv'e noticed how my art helps me feel good about myself. I've learned it's important to take care of ME. There are different parts of me that need to be taken care of, too. My art teacher at school talks to me about putting my thoughts and feelings on paper. It really helps. There are other things you can do too, if you don't like to draw. My little sister likes to sing when she is feeling blue. I live with my mom, my dad, and my two sisters. My parents are pretty helpful when it comes to learning how to take care of myself.
