Emily loves to draw and paint, so when her teacher tells her class they will be participating in a painting contest she is pleased. While her best friend, Kelly, paints only butterflies, Emily paints something different every day, each painting reflecting both the real-life images she sees and the emotional life she feels, and her contest entry depicts her beloved dog, Thor. When the art judge arrives, at first she mistakes Emily's dog for a rabbit. Then she dismisses it because she hates dogs. Kelly's latest butterfly painting wins first prize.
Emily is crushed and vows never to paint again. But an encounter with Kelly makes Emily realise the worth of her own work.
Ages: 5-8
