Publisher: Broutman Photography, LLC
ISBN: 9781893121799
“During the summer of 2018,
The Chicago Lighthouse for the Blind and the City of Chicago celebrated the themes
of access and inclusion by presenting fifty-one specially decorated model
lighthouses along Chicago’s Magnificent Mile. A number of them were painted by
artists with visual and physical disabilities.
Susan and Larry Broutman
sponsored one of the lighthouses, and Rich Green embellished it with
illustrations created for this book. Many families whose children appear in our
pages came to see their images on Michigan Avenue, The Magnificent Mile.”
Review:
What if a child’s imagination
allowed them to become apart of some of the most memorable children’s stories,
nursery rhymes and even some famous art? In this very visual guide kids can let
their imaginations soar. That’s the whole point to this book. Young readers
will find kids just like them in the middle of comics, traveling down the
yellow brick road as Dorothy, and even asleep in a bed as Goldilocks. Parents,
teachers, and caregivers can share these fun stories and nursery rhymes with
children.
If you are a fan of famous
works of art or some of the fantastic art displays found around the city of
Chicago, you will love looking at the visual attractions with kids being the
focus of attention. A young girl chases a leopard at the Millennium Park, and
another walks a porcupine and skunk by the Chicago Cultural Center. A young boy
sits next to the men in the painting Breaking Home Ties by Norman Rockwell. A young
girl appears in the famous American gothic painting by Grant Wood. This amazing
book shines a spotlight on kids who are special, diverse and unique.
