The story
Sketcher can draw anything, and once he starts he can't hear a thing. Dared to sketch a smoking beaker in science class, he only snaps out of it when Melody sings, knocks the drawn beaker, and vanishes in smoke.
He lands on a shelf of handmade dolls at the Vernissage market in Yerevan, Armenia. A kind doll named Araxie hides him, until a scowling boy named Albert points and says he wants that funny little doll.
The real place: Yerevan, Armenia
Three things to tell your kid after the story.
- 1Yerevan is one of the oldest cities in the world. It was founded nearly 2,800 years ago.
- 2The National Gallery of Armenia sits on Republic Square in Yerevan and holds the country's biggest art collection.
- 3On clear days you can see snowy Mount Ararat from Yerevan, even though the mountain sits across the border in Turkey.
