Drawing the Day: pre-writing stories

Using imaginative storytelling, this book invites children into the world of lines and forms. Each short story guides the child between the realm of nature and the realm of wonder—awakening the hands, head, and heart. As they journey through circles, waves, dips, and slants, the child's own inner pictures begin to form. Each story presented invites the child into action: observing, drawing, and dreaming. And in this imaginative space, the child prepares to write (and draw) their own story—bringing their whole being into harmony.
