What in the World Is Ezra's Art? cover

Ezra is a seven-year-old boy who likes cheese-flavored ice cream, flying off the couch with his superhero cape, and peeling dried glue off his fingers. And he LOVES making art. Every day at Braddock Elementary, he doodles, draws, paints, and crafts with abandon.

When he makes something, the entire world melts away, his heart feels warm, and his entire body wants to wiggle. But there is one problem. Even though he loves making it, no one understands it.

In this heartwarming picture book, little Ezra questions whether he should continue to make art when his parents, teachers, and classmates don't seem to get, or even like, his creations. What in the World Is Ezra's Art explores the question: Can he feel good about his art when no one else does?

"Every creator no matter the age will relate to Ezra's spark for creating. A sweet tale of believing in yourself even when others may not see it yet." –Benson Shum, award-winning children's book author and illustrator and Walt Disney Studios Supervising Animator
"With engaging writing and bright, appealing illustrations, What in the World Is Ezra's Art? celebrates the uninhibited joy of creating.
