With over 200,000 Instagram followers, Danielle Krysa has helped a lot of people overcome the fear that they \u201caren\u2019t creative.\u201d In books like\u00a0Creative Block<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Your Inner Critic is a Big Jerk<\/em>,\u00a0she calls out the self-criticism that keeps us from claiming and expressing our artistic abilities. Now she uses her characteristic playfulness, lively illustrations, and humor to help kids overcome negativity about their artistic endeavors–and to help them redefine what being an artist means. Every page delivers encouragement to the kid who thinks artists all live in cities, or that art has to look like something familiar, or that painting and drawing are the only way to make art. In a world that drastically undervalues creative freedom, Krysa\u2019s whimsical paintings and collages joyfully proclaim that art is essential and that artists are everywhere. Additionally, a page at the back of the book includes ideas for art projects–because who wants fewer art projects? Nobody!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
