Description
See below for English description.
Yasmin doit terminer son tableau pour le concours d'art avant vendredi, mais elle trouve une foule d'excuses pour ne pas le compléter. Elle ne sait pas quoi peindre, elle ne pense pas être talentueuse et ne veut pas faire de dégâts… Et si c'était justement un dégât qu'il lui fallait pour trouver l'inspiration?
Faites la rencontre de Yasmin, une élève enjouée de 2e année qui est toujours à la recherche de solutions pour régler les problèmes auxquels elle fait face. S'inspirant de son environnement et de son imagination, Yasmin est prête à relever n'importe quel défi! À la fois créative et curieuse, cette exploratrice d'origine pakistanaise inspirera et émerveillera les jeunes lecteurs.
Yasmin's painting for the art contest is due Friday, but she has lots of excuses for putting it off. She doesn't know what to paint, she doesn't think she's any good, and painting is messy. Turns out a mess is just what Yasmin needs for inspiration!
Meet Yasmin! Yasmin is a spirited second-grader who's always on the lookout for those "aha" moments to help her solve life's little problems. Taking inspiration from her surroundings and her big imagination, she boldly faces any situation — assuming her imagination doesn't get too big, of course! A creative thinker and curious explorer, Yasmin and her multi-generational Pakistani American family will delight and inspire readers.
Original title: Yasmin the Painter
