Yesterday, I my copy of The Artful Parent by Jean Van’T Hul.
I am beyond thrilled..
I love The Artful Parent blog (and Jean!), so I had this book preordered the day I heard it was on Amazon
The book is gorgeous. Inspiring. Resourceful.
Much like her blog, the book instantly slowed me down.
It is not a continuous read, although you can do that. It is not a book of art tutorials – although you can treat it that way.
It is like a friend, who drops little nuggets of wisdom for you, without making you feel stupid. Bite sized and actionable wisdom.
And yes, I realized that I do totally say the wrong things when my kids do art
A beautiful foreword by the wonderful MaryAnn Kohl.
A book that inspires me to write poetry with my kids is a total keeper.
Surprise nuggets by friends I admire – an article by the wonderful Rachelle at Tinkerlab above.
Get the book. It will be great for your soul. And you can fill many a days with art and artful memories with your kids.
BUY it here on Amazon. (This is not sponsored in any way, but the link is an affiliate link:))
