    Growing an Artist: The Story of a Landscaper and His Son

    John Parra

    Follow along with the story of a young boy, Juanito, who joins his papi on the job as a landscape architect. Juanito brings his sketchbook to draw anything that catches his eye: a nest of birds, a plant nursery, flowers, and more. Juanito realizes that while not everyone appreciates Papi's hard work, Papi always feels pride in owning his own business and in a job well done. And at the end of the day, Juanito may get the chance to turn his artistic eye toward landscape design—just like his papi.

    The Organic Artist for Kids

    Nick Neddo

    The Organic Artist for Kids inspires creativity by connecting kids and their adults to our wilderness roots. This book offers a wide variety of fun, collaborative projects using nature as a source for art supplies and inspiration, and also introduces the concepts of awareness and perception that are fundamental to the creative process. Children will be encouraged to learn new skills, build resilience, and be resourceful as part of an urgent struggle to prevent and undo Nature Deficit Disorder. Rooted in experimentation and an understanding that fun is fundamental to learning, kids will refine their drawing skills, as well as increase their appreciation for the visual arts and the natural landscape.
