Programmed to Paint has a great message directed toward preschoolers, but is helpful for any age, including adults!
Pintro is an adorable character, and reading along as he searched for his creativity was endearing and bittersweet, Often we see creativity smashed apart with the need to be "perfect," something everyone, even adults, deal with daily. The lesson about mistakes being how we learn and how we find our voice, and more importantly that it is okay to not be perfect, is lovely. It is appropriately conveyed for the target audience.
The illustrations are beautiful. They are vibrant and eye catching, each showcasing the emotion throughout the story expertly. I especially love how Pintro was expressive, considering he is a robot.
I highly recommend Programmed to Paint to readers of all ages. Classrooms, libraries, and even child therapist offices could benefit from having their book on their shelves!
