  Joan Mitchell Paints a Symphony...

  Celebrate the creative process of pioneering American abstract painter Joan Mitchell in this STEAM book, perfect for all kinds of young creators. 
    
  It’s 1983, and American artist Joan Mitchell is in her studio outside Paris, transforming her emotions and memories into a symphony of colors and shapes. Inspired by her friend’s description of an idyllic hidden valley in France, Mitchell creates 21 massive paintings—her Grande Vallée series—bursting with vibrant, energizing hues. But she doesn’t paint the valley’s flowers and meadows. She paints a feeling about them—abundance, freedom, liveliness—creating a harmonious blend of drips, splashes, and brushstrokes in rainbow colors. When the paint dries, it's time to share her valley with the world. 
    
  This inspiring, poetic book about an influential yet lesser-known American artist provides a snapshot of a creator who deserves as much acclaim as better-known Abstract Expressionists like Jackson Pollock or Willem de Kooning. Author Lisa Rogers shares both the despair and delight Mitchell experienced throughout her career, as her paintings develop from page to page.

  Doozy lives in a cozy cabin in the woods and loves to roam those woods with her dog, Smoke. She often gets distracted and forgets the time when playing with her friends and has to walk home through the dark woods. There, she meets a wise old owl who warns her, through the use of idioms, that her parents are anxiously waiting for her at home. Not understanding the meaning of those warnings, Doozy rushes home and finds that the warnings have literally come true. Doozy also has to explain to her unbelieving mother that she is late because of stopping in the woods to have a conversation with an owl. After three separate incidents with the owl, Doozy promises her parents that she has learned her lesson and will not be late getting home again. Children from pre-k to third grade will learn the difference between literal and figurative language, love the story and the wonderful pictures, and laugh a lot as they have a doozy of a time!
