When it feels that every day brings yet more disquiet, many of us are looking to our primary loves, art, music, books and each other to try and quell an increasing sense of foreboding.
Keeping kids feeling safe in a scary world is the universal concern of all parents and caregivers, and our new book My Art Book of Peace can help with that.
Pairing 35 famous artworks with charming, read-aloud text, My Art Book of Peace illustrates the complex idea of peace through familiar scenarios, such as finding peace in the company of friends, the simple pleasure of a summer’s day, or making peace through the simple act of kind gestures.
The heartwarming words and colorful design of My Art Book of Peace invite children to connect their everyday experiences to those they see in the artworks – allowing them to truly engage with the book’s theme, while building an appreciation of art.
The book features a diverse array of vibrant paintings, drawings, and sculptures by famous artists including works by Peter Doig, Keith Haring, Claude Monet, Faith Ringgold, Hilma af Klint, Georges Seurat, Salman Toor, and Franz Marc, Joy Labinjo, and Noah Davis, to name just a few. Each work is paired with Shana Gozansky’s fresh, thoughtful read-aloud text.
With each expertly curated image accompanied by the work’s title and artist’s name and an eye-catching, stylish cover with holographic foil, this luxuriously tactile board book explores big feelings through famous artworks, a tender, lyrical celebration of peace in all its forms and is a beautiful gift for newborns, toddlers, and young children. And, we hope, it will also give anxious parents a pleasing moment of peace too.
