Through gorgeous illustrations and heartwarming words, children and adults will find inspiration in Emma's ability to find creativity within herself.

Emma is a gifted young artist whose most prized possession is a small, shaggy rug. When her mother accidentally puts the rug in the washing machine and destroys it, Emma is devastated and ceases her art. But she soon comes to find that creativity comes from within, not from an object.

A perfect gift for any young artist in your life.
