How Artists See is a series of interactive, inquiry-based books
designed to teach children the art of observation and increase
their visual literacy. Each volume presents 18 diverse works of
art, all devoted to a subject that children know from personal
experience. Author Colleen Carroll's friendly, conversational text
is filled with thought-provoking questions that promote
exploration, self-expression, and fun. In this revised and
redesigned edition of the classic How Artists See Animals, more
than half the artworks are newly selected - and they range from
contemporary street art to an ancient Greek coin. Children will
discover how Andy Warhol's rhinoceros resembles a prehistoric cave
painting, how Frank Gehry turned a fish's sleek aquatic shape into
architecture, and how Georgia O'Keefe captured a bird in flight
using just a few curving lines.

Mira lives in a gray urban community until a muralist arrives and,
along with his paints and brushes, brings color, joy, and hope to

accomplish something big. Pick up a paintbrush and join the
celebration! "Simply superb." (Kirkus) Tomas Rivera Book Award *
