An Apple That Is Purple By Nicole Penworthy

Can you be an artist if you see the world differently?

When Theo paints an apple with his favorite deep plum-purple, the class giggles. They tell him he’s "wrong." They tell him apples can’t be purple. For a moment, Theo’s world loses its spark, and he hides his art away.

But with a little help from his mother—a woodworker who finds beauty in grain and patterns rather than colors—Theo discovers a powerful secret: Art isn't about what you see with your eyes; it’s about what you feel in your heart.

In this heartwarming and inspirational story, young readers will join Theo as he finds the courage to show the world his unique vision. Perfect for ages 4 to 9, An Apple That Is Purple is a celebration of diversity, the strength of self-confidence, and the beauty of seeing the world in your own special way.

Because sometimes, the most beautiful thing you can be is yourself!

Both the story and illustrations are done by me. I would be grateful if you could have a look. I'd be over the moon, if you could leave a review 🙏🙏🙏.

Hi,

After reading all your wonderful suggestions and feeling inspired by your encouragement, I finally published my story. You can find it on Amazon and the ebook is completely free.

Thank you for everything 🙏🙏🙏

I'm sorry I don't want to flood the sub with my posts, but since I cannot decide the style and can't move forward, please bear with me and give me some opinions. First 3 images are the previous style and the last four are the new style I'm trying to develop. For reference, I'm no professional artist!

I normally draw simple images for my stories, but thought of stepping up a little and these were the results 🫠. What else should I change? I'm open to suggestions (Except shadows, still working on them and man they are hard!🤧)
