New Prague, MN Author Publishes Children's Book

"Lucy Llama Scribbles", a new book by Melanie Buckman, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

A heartwarming new picture book that encourages children to embrace their unique creative voices.

Lucy Llama lives for art, finding joy in every stroke of her colored pencils. However, a trip to the art museum takes a difficult turn when her peers mock her work, claiming she is "bad at art" simply because she refuses to stay inside the lines. Stung by their words, Lucy attempts to conform to their rigid standards, nearly losing her passion for creating in the process.

Through the gentle guidance of her mother and teacher, Lucy discovers a vital lesson: the value of art isn't found in perfect boundaries, but in the joy and emotion it inspires.

This story is for every child who has ever felt like their 'extra' wasn't enough. Art is about how you feel, not how well you follow the rules
