# I Wish I Could Draw - Hardcover

by **Cary Fagan** (Author)

When the narrator of this sneakily clever book decides he will try to draw even though he believes he isn't very good at it, a world of silly possibilities opens for him. By the end of the story, he has vanquished a dragon, been given a medal, published a book, and seen his artwork on display in a real museum--and all because he refused to be held back by his own perceived limitations.

The narrator of _I Wish I Could Draw_ shares a name with creator Cary Fagan and has the same curly hair and glasses. Perhaps most interesting of all, though, the narrator believes he has no artistic talent--just like the Cary Fagan who not only wrote but also bravely and exuberantly illustrated this book. Fortunately for readers, both Cary-the-narrator and Cary-the-children's-book-creator refused to let self-doubt stop them from trying to tell (and draw) the funniest and most exciting story they could think of. The result is a book that delivers plenty of excitement, silly jokes and fun--and also an important message about self-confidence and perseverance.

Designed to look like a child's notebook, _I Wish I Could Draw_ will inspire readers to pick up a pencil and let their imaginations do the rest.
