An Artist's Eyes by Frances Tosdevin

5.0

This picture book tells the story of Jo as he learns to see the world with the imagination and creativity of an artist. Through the course of the story he learns that there is no "artist's perspective" that we all should strive towards, instead we are all artists and the way we see the world is unique to us. All that matters to see things like an artist is to look for the beauty in the world around us.

As a grade 3 teacher with a love of teaching Art, I could absolutely see this book in my classroom library. The illustrations are beautiful and I think there would be many opportunities to use this book as an inspiration for creating art or teaching art lessons to young children. The message is also important because as an art teacher, my goal is to create small artists who throw caution to the wind and dive fully into their art pieces without inhibition. I would recommend this book to art teachers, home room teachers, librarians and families of little artists in the age 4-10 range. I so appreciate Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this lovely book.
