Mina receives a book with lots of blank pages in it, along with pencils and paintbrushes. She starts coloring page after page, and soon a cat and an owl are her constant companions, not only on paper. Summer comes along, turns into autumn, and Mina becomes skeptical: Are her owl’s beaks off-center, and are her cat’s paws too short? Drawing can be easy, but sometimes looking too closely at what you have created can get in your way.
