This story is about a boy name James Castle. He was born premature and it cause him deaf. He could not hear and speak. It was hard for him to find friends. He grew up and go to school and all he wants to do at school was drawing. He will fill his room with his drawings. He could not keep all his drawings because his family keep moving from place to place. Until his nephew took some of his drawings to University in Portland and the professors were interested and want to meet the artist. James meet the professor and some of his artist were display at the school and they were sold. Again, Bob Clay, director of Boise Gallery Art invite James and put up some of his art in a show at the gallery. Some of his drawings were sold too. James finally have his own dream house and he continues his artist in the Dream House.
I like this story because of the greatest themes that it teaches. “Do your best in what you do best” This lesson can also apply in different situation of life. Kids that loves to draw can receive inspiration from this story. I love the illustration of this book because each it shows some of James Castle’s art. I also like the illustration because every page and every statement has an image to describe what is also written. If some deaf student look at the story they can read the story using the picture only.
