The Magic Eraser

Emma spends every afternoon at her little wooden table, drawing with crayons and a red pencil tucked behind her ear while Grandpa Leo watches with his kind, crinkly blue eyes. One day he gives her a small pale-blue eraser and tells her it is magic. Soon a tiny eraser-shaped creature named Pixel appears, and Emma finds that the eraser really does wipe away any mistake perfectly.

At first she is delighted, smoothing out every wobbly line and crooked paw. But her pictures begin to feel flat and empty: the flowers no longer dance in the wind, the puppy looks stiff, and the bird is just a plain oval. Pixel, who always believed perfect was best, is puzzled too. This tale by Yavuz DEMİRKIRAN follows Emma as she starts to see her slips in a different light, and it can be read on Online Masal.
