Introducing art as something children can use, not just study. How can art connects to our feelings, help us understand ourselves, and bring comfort, excitement and joy?

Readers will learn how to look at art without feeling bored, what kinds of art might help in different moods, and why everyone becomes an art expert long before they ever visit a museum.

Clear, engaging and reassuring, this book encourages children to be curious, confident and independent in their responses to art — while quietly offering adults a fresh way to think about it too.
