This blog is a place to share research, experiences and inspirations around teaching and the world of Early Childhood Education —which I believe includes just about anything and everything creative.

A Masterpiece

untitled
A must have! Written by Andrew Larsen Illustrated by Irene Luxbacher

Excerpt from An Imaginary Garden: “Poppa got out his paints. He mixed a bit of white and a bit of black. Together they made gray. Stroke by stroke, stone by stone, Poppa built a wall. It stretched from one side of the garden to the other. Above the stone wall, Theo painted a soft blue sky.”

“Theodora loved her grandfather’s old garden. His new apartment’s balcony is too windy and small for a garden. But what appears to be a drawback soon leads to a shared burst of creativity as Theo and her Poppa decide to paint a new garden. As they work side by side — sowing seeds with brushes and paint — a masterpiece begins to take shape that transforms the balcony into an abundant garden.”
