“A beautifully written, designed, and illustrated story! Grant Snider's poetry sings and captivated my heart on every page! I couldn't put it down! Buy it. Read it. Share it!” —John Schu, librarian and New York Times bestselling author of Louder Than Hunger

Adam has always been the kid who could draw. But this year, everything feels off.

His parents are fighting. A bully is picking on him. There's a new artist in school. His life is changing . . . faster than he can keep up.

As Adam's world turns upside down, he can feel his love of drawing slipping away. But who is Adam without art?
