Born to Draw is the inspiring true story of Calvin Jefferson-a gifted young artist who dared to dream beyond poverty, race, and circumstance in Little Rock, Arkansas.
With nothing but broken pencils, cardboard canvases, and an unstoppable passion for art, Calvin carved a path no one expected. While others saw cartoons, he saw vision. While the world told him to be smaller, he painted bigger.
From sketching in the shadows to studying Monet and Renoir by library light, Calvin's story is one of resilience, creativity, and triumph. He wasn't just born to draw-he was born to rise.
For anyone who's ever felt unseen, unheard, or underestimated, this memoir is a powerful reminder: talent may be silent, but it never goes unnoticed forever.
