Review
♥ Princess Marisol & The Moon Thieves is no ordinary children’s book. It is a multimedia children’s adventure. In this powerful, yet fun-loving tale about a little princess who is trying to recover the stolen moon from a couple of mischievous musicians, we are taken on a journey filled with adventure, beauty and ultimately self-discovery.
In its creation, there has been a collaboration of artistry from the fields of music, fine art and literature and the result is a proverbial story of working together and learning respect for each other and for nature. To reinforce those lessons the book contains a curriculum component that can be used by educators, parents and guardians alike.
An additional theme of the work places a focus on multiculturalism. As the world around us grows, our interaction with people from other cultures becomes more common. Learning about and from these cultures is both vital and beautiful. –

From writing out tags, to put out the work, to thinking about where I will put the art I love every part of the process of preparing for Free Art Friday! In our everyday lives we often encounter many things made by machines and often forget the beauty in things made by hand. How special the gift of art is because it someone invested their heart and time into creating it.
