Book Reviews of On My Block: Stories and Paintings by Fifteen Artists
Book Review: Beautiful art, great stories
Summary: 5 Stars
On My Block shows the stories and artwork of a broad range of multicultural artists. Their stories of childhood and beautiful paintings bring their experiences to life. My 6-year old daughter loves to hear the stories and look for the artists in the paintings (most of them are self-portraits). We have several Children's Book Press books and they have terrific books that appeal to all children.
Summary of On My Block: Stories and Paintings by Fifteen Artists
In this lovely homage to neighborhoods everywhere, 15 gifted artists portray the places most special to them. Readers soar from the rooftops of south Brooklyn to the desert of Taos Pueblo, from a basement in San Francisco?s Japantown to a Mississippi Gulf Coast porch. A garden in Mexico overflows with brilliant flowers while one in Tehran hums with the purring of 32 cats. Moving, funny, and unexpected, the stories and images encourage children to explore and observe their own neighborhood and to ask, What is my world? What is my special place?
