<i>A huge thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review!</i>

The doodles in this book are so cute, and most of them really look very easy. I haven't gotten a chance yet to try them out, but I definitely will! I'm already excited and have several ideas and uses in mind! The book mentions you really only *need* one pen, but let's face it; everyone who likes drawing has unlimited pens, so I had a good chuckle at that, haha!

The biggest downside of this book is the use of 'feminine'. Apparently quite a few things give a 'feminine effect' and when we're fighting so hard to break stereotypes it's disheartening. Only feminine was used, too. Nothing was masculine, although other words that clearly meant the same were. It really bothered me.

There is also a page of World Folk Costumes. Which is great. Except that all the girls drawn are white. And all but one of the costumes are Asian. It's written and drawn by Asian women, though, so perhaps I'm looking into it too much. I just felt it needed to be said.

All in all it's a cute book, but it's nothing ground breaking, nor does it feel like something inventive. A very solid happy 3 stars!
