Let's Make Faces!

No comments:

Let's Make Faces! Have Fun Drawing Different Faces for Different Feelings but Gerard Emerson Langeler helps children with disabilities learn to identify various facial expressions and what each expression means. Each set of pages corresponds to a certain expression. One page will describe what each emotion is, triggers for the emotion and then puts the emotion into a real life situation the child would relate to. The next page will then ask the child to draw what they think the emotion looks like.

Let's Make Faces! is a great introduction for children to learn about emotions and what is behind each expression.

Piano Starts Here: The Young Art Tatum by Robert Andrew Parker is the story of a jazz pianist from Toledo, Ohio who was born nearly blind. As a young boy, he enjoyed playing the piano first for his family, churches, and local radio stations to later perform in countries all over the world. This is a beautifully illustrated tribute to one of the greatest jazz musicians of all times.
