Description
by Shala K. Howell (Author)
"...Howell proves with this guide that anyone can nurture a lifelong love of art in little ones. Simple but effective tips for busy parents." -- Kirkus Reviews
Every time your child asks you a question, what he or she is really doing is inviting you to have a conversation. Even better, your child is telling you exactly what he or she wants to talk about. All you have to do is allow yourself to participate.
But what do you do if your child wants to talk about something you don't know anything about, like art?
The wonderful thing about public art is that it is all around us, sparking your children's curiosity and prompting conversations. Even better, talking about art with your children can help boost their creativity, speed language acquisition, and help them develop the critical thinking skills they need to thrive in our visual world.
The terrible thing about public art is that it's art, and art feels like one of those subjects you can't talk about unless you have a degree in it or a talent for making it.
I have neither.
Lucky for me (and for you) that doesn't matter.
What's That, Mom? provides 15 accessible, practical strategies for using public art to spark conversations with children between the ages of 3 and 10 -- no artistic talent or insight required.
My goal in writing this book is to help you deepen your relationship with your children and build memories that your entire family will cherish later on. If in the process, I can help you convert public art from something you exclaim over vaguely into something you actively explore with your children, so much the better.
