Con gli occhi di un artista

A story to learn to see the world through the color of imagination.

A story about trust to encourage children to use imagination as a tool to learn about the world.

Each person is unique, as is his or her way of looking: no two artists in the world are the same!

The book tells the story of Jo and her journey through the world of color and creativity. Jo is a child who desperately wants to “see like an artist”-he tries as hard as he can to look at things the way Mo, the artist, sees them, but only when he begins to use his imagination does he discover that his world is unique. From orange autumn leaves to pink and lilac birds in flight, Mo teaches Jo to trust her own eyes and to look at the world just like an artist.
