The story of a little girl whose art teacher helps her to develop a ‘can do’ attitude. Vashti is sure that she can’t draw, but when the teacher puts Vashti’s simple dot picture on display, Vashti begins to think of what else she might be able to draw too if she is only willing to give it a try.

This teaches us all to be less perfectionist; it’s perfectly ok to be good-ish at something. The enjoyment and satisfaction are in the doing.
