Young at Art

Young at Art is the first comprehensive book for the general reader about the nature, value, and impact of art on very young children. Writing for parents and educators of one- to five-year-olds, Susan Striker explains why children's art is not a frill, but the very foundation upon which all later educational skills are built. She also drives home the idea that encouraging children's artistic growth will have beneficial effects on all other aspects of their emotional and intellectual development.
