About this story
When Mia finds a shiny golden pencil hidden under her bed, she knows it's special the moment she touches it: warm and tingly, like holding a piece of sunshine. Mia loves drawing more than anything — flowers, animals, big blue skies — but this pencil does something no other pencil can: the little brown puppy she draws wiggles, jumps right off the paper, and licks her nose. Soon Doodle the puppy is real, and when best friend Leo comes to visit, a drawn red rocket ship grows tall and proud in the backyard. Helmeted and ready, Mia, Leo, and Doodle zoom past the clouds to a smiling moon, twinkling stars like diamonds on black velvet, and a rainbow bridge drawn across the midnight sky. A joyful imagination adventure about art, friendship, and drawing your way out of every problem.
