I picked this book after my painting experience! I thought it’d be about the joy of having a Magic Paintbrush. Pre-painting I’d always wanted one, but I’m rethinking that. Scarlet discovered she’d rather paint her own way than have a perfect paintbrush make all the decisions. Perfection is great, but staying true to yourself is even better! Post-painting, I think Scarlet was right! I learned things from painting myself that I’d never learn with a magic paintbrush.
