In An Artist's Eyes, follow Jo as he journeys through the world of colour and creativity in an empowering story of confidence and imagination.
Jo is a little boy who desperately wants to 'see like an artist'.
He tries as hard as he can to see the things the way Mo the artist does, and when he starts to use his imagination, he realises that the things he can dream up are completely unique.
From the autumn oranges of the forest floor to pink and lilac pigeons in flight, Mo teaches Jo to trust his own eyes, and to see like an artist.
This is a magical story about the power of imagination and discovering that our individual perspectives make us all artists, and no two artist's eyes are the same.
Today we have a book that has a 4 triquetra rating of "I really liked it."
Mo and Jo have the same eyes - even though they both see things a little differently. Mo is an artist and sees different shades of colors within the grasses, the forests, the flowers, the night sky. Jo sees shapes and patterns. Both are beautiful, and unique ways of seeing the world.
Young Jo doesn't agree with that, and gets frustrated with not being able to "see like an artist." Eventually they embrace the way they're uniquely seeing the world around them, and seems to enjoy the outing into nature with Mo more.
Overall this was an adorable book, great bedtime story, especially for those with littles around who might view the world differently, or pick up on different things. For those with autistic children who might pick up on patterns and geometric things over different shades of color, for example, would find this a helpful book in which they can relate to the main character of the story.
