For any child who loves making art! This I Can Read story, blending narrative with nonfiction, introduces many different kinds of working artists to the young reader.
Papa takes me to an art show and I get to meet a painter and a sculptor. Then we go to Papa’s workspace. He’s a hand-lettering artist. He takes me to meet the other artists in the building and I get to see how they work. Maybe I will be an artist when I grow up!
Over the course of an exciting day with Papa, our young narrator interacts with a potter, a photographer, an animator, a graphic designer, an illustrator, a cartoon artist, and even a muralist!
Art and artists are everywhere. There are loads of ways to make art—and making art doesn’t just have to be a hobby.
I Want to Be an Artist is a vibrant addition to the I Can Read series that introduces young readers to important community helpers. Includes a glossary.
