Booklist

Emphasizing that art is not about making an attractive final product but is rather a fun, creative process, this entry in the Train Your Brain series (6 titles) shows children how anyone can become an artist. The encouraging text speaks to young readers directly as it breaks down the artistic process into a progression of manageable mini-lessons. From observing one’s environment, finding beauty in unexpected places, and planning a composition to experimenting, making mistakes, and setting goals, the lessons introduce different ways of thinking and related, hands-on activities. Profiles of a diverse group of artists who overcame personal and professional challenges offer inspiration, while vibrant backgrounds with cartoon illustrations feature kids with a range of skin colors, hair styles, and abilities, making the book inclusive for new artists.
