For young artists, tricksters, and crafters, here is a hip, friendly how- to manual for creating removable and shareable art projects from easily found materials. The sneaky part is in the installation! Each work of art is custom- created for display in public places - a tiny cork- bottomed boat in a public fountain, a plate of tiny paper cupcakes on your teacher's desk, a penny left on the ground for a stranger, a funny message left on your mother's bathroom mirror, and more. This utterly unique guide - part craft book, part art- philosophy - offers a stylish and sweet "made- you- look- twice" spirit of fun meant to put a smile on the faces of strangers and loved ones alike.
This blog is essentially a list of children's books that I have enjoyed (or didn't but might recommend anyway). They are tagged for age level and other searchable characteristics. Please comment on anything you'd like to see to make this a useful tool for you when looking for books that children (or those young at heart) might enjoy. - Anthea Bailie
