| To Makeby Danielle Davis (Author) Mags Deroma (Illustrator) Reading Level: K − 1st Grade A stunning picture book ode to the joys of the creative process and the spirit of collaboration. This lyrical story from Danielle Davis and Mags DeRoma is perfect for fans of Kevin Henkes, Gyo Fujikawa and Julie Fogliano. To make . . . a cake, a garden, a song, you first gather, then make–and wait. To make a story (like this one), you gather, make, wait. To make anything–big or small–it will take some time. You may have to gather more, make more and wait a little more, but you can create wonderful things if you just gather, make and wait. This gorgeous, timeless book gently emphasizes patience as part of the making process and is a fitting book for all homes, classrooms and makerspaces everywhere. |

| How to Spot an Artist: This Might Get Messyby Danielle Krysa (Author) Reading Level: 2nd − 3rd Grade Help kids discover and nourish their inner artist with this vividly illustrated, funny and endlessly encouraging dose of positive reinforcement. With over 200,000 Instagram followers, Danielle Krysa has helped a lot of people overcome the fear that they aren’t creative. In books like Creative Block and Your Inner Critic is a Big Jerk, she calls out the self-criticism that keeps us from claiming and expressing our artistic abilities. Now she uses her characteristic playfulness, lively illustrations and humor to help kids overcome negativity about their artistic endeavors–and to help them redefine what being an artist means. Every page delivers encouragement to the kid who thinks artists all live in cities, that art has to look like something familiar or that painting and drawing are the only way to make art. In a world that drastically undervalues creative freedom, Krysta’s whimsical paintings and collages joyfully proclaim that art is essential and that artists are everywhere. Additionally, a page at the back of the book includes ideas for art projects–because who wants fewer art projects? Nobody! |
