Max is a big dog who lives with Izzy, a medium-sized girl, who has big ideas! Izzy can build anything, from birdhouses to swings to catapults, but when she takes on knitting, things don’t go quite as planned. This storybook film and an interactive painting lesson from artist Leonardo Da Visual join together to explore how even when projects don’t turn out perfectly, creativity, patience, and a little imagination can lead to something wonderful.
