Children Draw by Marilyn Js Goodman
Informed by psychology and practical teaching with children, Children Draw is a concise, richly illustrated book, aimed at parents and carers, that explores why children draw and the meaning and value of drawing for youngsters - from toddlers aged two to pre-adolescents aged twelve.
"Goodman's love and respect for children is evident throughout this brilliant investigation of how and why children drawAs a working artist, an uncle, and a grown-up version of a boy who loved to make pictures, I wholeheartedly recommend this book to any adult with a child in their life as well as anyone interested in drawing and the many ways it functions for children during the various stages of their development."--Alexander Stadler, author and illustrator of the Beverly Billingsly series, the Julian Rodriguez books, and several other books for children "Goodman's delightfully illustrated and highly accessible text celebrates our imagination. In sharing her valuable insights, she reminds us that taking pencil to paper remains an essential human action. This book will help adults nurture a child's personal development and expressive skills that will last their lifetime."--Erika Sanger, Executive Director, Museum Association of New York "With a passion for the magic and importance of early childhood drawing and painting, Goodman successfully demystifies this complex activity, essential to children's development. Goodman's wisdom and knowledge offers a concise and refreshing look into the history and meaning of children's art making, tracking important age-appropriate developments through abundant illustrations and insightful observations. Children Draw is an essential guide for parents and caregivers seeking to support this vital component in their child's creative learning."--Philip Matsikas, fine arts teacher, University of Chicago Laboratory Schools
