Children in the Village: A Picture Book

This book is unusual — children will draw their pictures to the stories in it. They were written by Ekaterina Ivanova — a young mother of many children — and she invited each child to become an illustrator! Uncommon and surprising, but the children will manage — because the book includes tips from a real artist, Alina Negoda — she is also a mother and a teacher at a children's art studio. Alina managed to create an atmosphere for independent children's creativity in the book, explaining the different types of lines, how to draw textures, what still life, landscape, and portrait are, and how to choose colors using the color wheel. Through the play with shapes, textures, and colors, children's creative intelligence develops. Read the stories aloud, listen to the descriptions, boldly imagine, and create!
