People don't notice Jerry. If someone bumps into him, they don't say sorry. If someone waves, it's to somebody behind him. He never gets picked last for sports teams, but that's because he never gets picked at all. It's like he's invisible. That is, until Molly comes along. Molly asks Jerry his opinion. She shares things with him, she laughs with him and she sees him. Jerry soon realizes he can pay her gift forward, as there are plenty of other kids who feel invisible too. In today's busy world, there are lots of people who feel like they're on the outside looking in. This picture book is written for them, to show them that there are people out there who will see them, who will recognize their talents, and see how worthy they are. Bestselling author Adam Wallace (How to Catch an Elf) was inspired to write Invisible Jerry based on his own experiences as a shy kid growing up. This story comes straight from the heart.

It is a book that gives you the basics of drawing cartoon animals. You'll learn expressions, proportions, and more -- AND, you will do it all with a smile on your face. WHY? Well, because all the instructions are in rhyme, and they are all in the form of a little story. So the dog, for example, starts off as a UFO flying around. Then the headlight comes on, doors open, it is all happening, and before long you have drawn a dog! WOO HOO! As for the cat, WOAH NELLY -- the cat starts off as something I cannot even discuss here. What is that? I can ??? Awesome then... THAT CAT STARTS OFF AS A BUM!!!!! So get a pencil, a piece of paper, and get ready for a whole lot of fun. Most of all do not worry about mistakes. Everyone makes them, and drawing is not meant to be a stress it is meant to be AWESOME!
