About the book

Bad Artist

Celebrate creativity, confidence, and the joy of making art with this inspiring picture book for young artists. Little Lou believes she is a “bad artist” because her drawings do not look as realistic as her big sister’s—but along the way, she discovers an important lesson: art is not about being perfect; it is about imagination, self-expression, and seeing the world in your own unique way.

Written by an art teacher with more than 15 years of experience, this encouraging story helps children appreciate their individual creative style and enjoy the process of making something their own. Through Little Lou’s relatable journey, young readers can explore creative confidence, individuality, comparison, and artistic self-expression in a warm and accessible way.

What Kids Learn

  • Why every artist can have a different style, idea, and perspective.
  • How to enjoy creating, experimenting, and expressing themselves through art.
  • That comparing their work with someone else’s does not define their creativity.

  • Written by an experienced art teacher with 15+ years of teaching experience.

  • Inspires young readers to experiment, create, and develop their own artistic voice.

  • Parents and teachers looking for art books, confidence-building stories, and creativity books for kids.
