Mistakes. We all make ‘em. But what if, instead of stopping with a sad “Oh no. I made a mistake,” we said “Hey look I made a mistake, and so I used it to…” The Book of Mistakes, written and illustrated by Corinna Luyken is a creative, wonderful story of what can come out of things that go wrong, when you take a closer look. An accidental ink splat on the drawing of a girl’s face? No matter, she needs a helmet so she can roller skate through the story. Tiny ink smudges across the sky? Wait, they look as if they could be leaves blowing up and away on the wind! Each mistake is not lamented but changed and adds another layer to the ever-expanding story, as the artist sees with new eyes, and what an artist she is! This is a unique and lovely book that encourages its readers to see their mistakes in a very different light, and discover how a big mistake can actually lead to a whole new idea!
