Now I wondered what Harry was drawing. A green stick figure guy celebrating Saint Patrick’s Day? A big head of broccoli? I had never seen Harry work so hard on a drawing before.

When I looked over Harry’s shoulder and saw his poster, my jaw dropped.

Harry’s Shocking Poster

Harry had not touched the new box of crayons that the art teacher gave each of us. He was still using his fat green crayon with the ghostlike face. He kept drawing blades of grass all over his poster. Some were bent, some were leaning on the ground, some were standing tall. It looked like an unmowed lawn you could hide in. At the top was one word: MISSING.

“Wow!” I said. “That’s…different, Harry.” I tried to think of another word besides shocking.

“Thanks, Dougo. But I feel like it still needs something. I just don’t know what.”

“You don’t have much room to add anything,” I replied. “Your poster is wall to wall grass!”

“That’s my problem,” Harry said.

As soon as everyone finished their poster, Mrs. Matalata asked each of us to talk about our work.

Dexter went first. He had drawn a pair of blue shoes. “Elvis was the King of rock ’n’ roll. His version of ‘Blue Suede Shoes’ was popular in 1956. I have every song he ever sang, but this one is my favorite. I can’t draw people well, but I can draw shoes if I’m looking at them.”

Mrs. Matalata touched Dexter’s poster. “You colored these so dark they feel like blue suede!”

Ida went next. Her poster showed a ballet dancer. It looked just like Ida. “I have been taking lessons since I was four,” she said. “I love dancing!”

The art teacher looked closely at her drawing. “I like the detail you put on the girl’s tutu, and the musical notes you drew on the side.”
