Henry Is an Artist

Ages 4 to 8, Grades P to 3

A hilariously funny and unique story about Henry, a dog who is disappointed when the new pieces of "art" he creates each day on his walks to the park are continuiously thrown in the garbage!

Henry is a dedicated artist, a master sculptor, and . . . a dog. Each day on his walks to the park, he leaves his new "art" for people to admire. But his sculptures keep getting tossed in the garbage without even being noticed! That is until, one day, when someone quite unexpected falls in love with his work and at last Henry has his moment to shine.

This tongue-in-cheek and truly unique picture book about creativity, perseverence, and, well, poop, is a hilarious ode to undiscovered artists everywhere. 

Perfect for readers who loved No One Likes a Fart, My Butt is So Noisy, and Peter Reynolds's Creatrilogy.
