Raczka, B. (2017). Niko draws a feeling. Minneapolis: Carolrhoda Books.
Overview: Niko loves to draw pictures. His drawings look like scribbles and are hard for others to see what he has drawn. He felt great when he was drawing. He would get sad when people would ask, “What is it?” Then he meet Iris who finally understood his drawings. She talks about the way the drawing feels and Niko is so happy that his drawings are understood. When working with young children always ask them to tell you about their drawing, so they can verbally share what they have drawn. Give feedback, without telling them how they should have made their drawing. Encourage their creativity. There is not only one way to create a masterpiece. This book would be great to read at the beginning of the year when teaching students how to share their projects with others. Encouraging them to support their peers and give constructive feedback and how to have a conversation about one's work.
