Children in art

I Love this book! This book is a wonderful addition to any childhood class room, or for children who engage in any type of art. This book shows children from all around the world engaging in all different aspects of art. Art is an important part of every culture. This book really captures just that.

What is art? This book has the answer!

I bought this book for my daughter's 5th birthday. She enjoys a variety of art forms in a variety of mediums yet she did not comprehend the fact that singing, dancing, banging on a drum, creating a collage, exploring play dough, creating a block structure, and "writing" are all forms of art. After reading this multicultural book, she has a better understanding of art. She now understands that art is more than crayons and paint. She now has a better understanding of creative expression across children of many cultures. The book is an "easy read" for parents and teachers yet can foster more in-depth conversations when needed. I will be sharing this book with my daughters preschool teachers.
