I Can Make Things!

Author: Mini Shrinivasan

Illustrator: Tanvee Nabar

I am a big boy now.

I can draw and I can make things.

I draw my mother, she sits still.

I draw my sister, she does not sit still.

I draw many things.

But I am told not to draw on the wall.

I can make things.

I make a drawing of a cat, she is fat.

I make a fish. It is small.

I make paper boats, birds and planes.

I make houses and trains.

My sister makes a mess!

I can make many things. But my sister cannot!
