Oj? loves to draw, but what happens when he starts to draw everywhere he shouldn't? From an emerging Nigerian talent comes a humorous story dealing with a common preschooler issue.

More than anything else, Oj? loves to draw. Mama says, "My little Oj? 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 Oj? 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 Oj?'s sister brings home a big pad of paper and Oj? immediately begins to fill it up. Mama hangs his drawings all over the house so Oj? can still make the world a more beautiful place.

This captivating picture book is a fun and funny read aloud with pictures that will make readers laugh. Based on the author-artist's own childhood, this lush Nigerian setting introduces kids to a place that is seldom seen in picture books.
