The Art of Miss Chew

40 pp. | Putnam | April, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-0-399-25703-2 $17.99
(3) K-3 Inspired by her classroom teacher to pursue drawing, Trisha joins Miss Chew's after-school art class. As Trisha learns the "language of art," her clear understanding of negative space helps Miss Chew understand the girl's reading disability. Polacco's pencil and marker illustrations express the emotional shift as the young artist's learning frustrations fall away with better understanding of herself--thanks to art education.
