(Weston Woods, 2005)
DVD - Running time 7min
Ramon loved to draw. Anytime. Anything. Anywhere.
Drawing
is what Ramon does. It's what makes him happy. But in one split
second, all that changes. A single reckless remark by Ramon's older
brother, Leon, turns Ramon's carefree sketches into joyless struggles.
Luckily for Ramon, though, his little sister, Marisol, sees the
world differently. She opens his eyes to something a lot more valuable
than getting things just "right." |

| Combining
the spareness of fable with the potency of parable, Peter H. Reynolds
shines a bright beam of light on the need to kindle and tend our
creative flames with care.
A
creative spirit learns that thinking "ish-ly" is far more wonderful
than "getting it right" in this gentle animated film adaptation
of Peter H. Reynolds picture book Ish.
