From a Rectangle

By Najah A. Jabbar

Book Overview

From a Rectangle. Illustrated by Pencil Artist Craig Ledger. From a rectangle, Lizzy hopes to draw a move-in ready spectacular house, and, alas, accomplishes her goal, but the "house stood still as could be." The determined and adorable Lizzy repeatedly adds details, making the house even more spectacular, but the "house stood still as could be." When "down, down came the rain," Lizzy and her cat, Binti, appear quite stuck on white space. Ledger conveys emotions and action through the use of simple lines and colors and the sequence of illustrations. This sweet picture book hopes to encourage conversations in art, math, literature, and psychology, but most of all, it hopes to motivate children to grab a pencil and start imagining.
