2. The Unknown Artist No one paid much attention to the new girl, Erin
The Unknown Artist No one paid much attention to the new girl, Erin. She didn’t talk much and she kept to herself at lunch. Then one morning a cartoon of Ms. Gerber’s sixth-grade class showed up on the chalkboard. The artist had drawn each student and had somehow caught each one’s personality. Who had done the drawing? Later that day, Erin was called to the front of the class to read her report. On the way up, some papers fell out of her folder. When Ms. Gerber saw them, she laughed. “Well, I guess we know who our artist is!” There in Erin’s hand were sketches of the class hard at work. “Maybe you can help do sets for the class play,” Juan said to her. Erin was excited and suddenly felt more at ease. She began sharing her love for drawing and a collection of her sketches with the class.
