Oh No, Ojó!

More than anything else, Ojó loves to draw. Mama says, “My little Ojó is making the world a more beautiful place.” But when he sneaks off with his sister’s pencil, she gets upset. Papa brings home markers, and Ojó starts drawing everywhere he shouldn’t. He ruins Papa’s newspaper and Mama’s shopping list and on every blank space he can find. How can his family encourage his love for drawing while teaching him that he can’t draw everywhere?

Then Ojó’s sister brings home a big pad of paper and Ojó immediately begins to fill it up. Mama hangs his drawings all over the house so Ojó can still make the world a more beautiful place.
