Description

Art, Kids, and InstitutionsFramed by stories of young artists and teaching art, Richard Olsens memoir, Art, Kids, and Institutions, dares to ask: Who are these beings called kids and how do we engage them? What role can art have in their lives? What is the nature of the institutions they find themselves in? Why cant learning (and teaching) be liberating and filled with joy? Art, Kids, and Institutions goes beyond a reminiscence of the past. It becomes a polemic for the present.

Framed by stories of young artists and teaching art, Richard OlsenÕs memoir, Art, Kids, and Institutions, dares to ask: Who are these beings called kids and how do we engage them? What role can art have in their lives? What is the nature of the institutions they find themselves in? Why canÕt learning (and teaching) be liberating and filled with joy? Art, Kids, and Institutions goes beyond a reminiscence of the past. It becomes a polemic for the present.

ÒPoised between sharp social commentary and tender teacher wisdom, Art, Kids, and Institutions embodies its artful subject. In language that is rich and spare, it speaks to the simple artistry of great teachersÑtheir commitment, caring, resilience, and courage.Ó Ð-Jessica Hoffmann Davis, EdD Founder of the Arts in Education Program, Harvard Graduate School of Education

Excellent Adventure
Format: Paperback
For a small book this packs a powerful punch. Fourteen year old Troy is left in charge of his younger sister while his parents are away for twenty-four hours. Troy wakes to his cell phone ringing, his dog tugging on his sleeve and pitch blackness. Unable to reach their parents Troy goes next door to the neighbor for advice. Mrs. Jones makes it clear they should stay put. When Troy sees houses on their street erupt in flames he decides they have to leave. Unfortunately he can’t convince Mrs. Jones. Troy loads up his sister and their two pets in their dad’s Bronco and heads for what he hopes is safety. This book is full of realistic action between the older brother and younger sister. He takes his promise to his parents to protect his sister even when she becomes annoying. This is fast paced, on the seat of your chair action from the very beginning. For those who are fans of the “I Survived “ series by Lauren Tarshis, I guarantee that you will enjoy this series. I highly recommend this to all adventure readers.

Very exciting story
Format: Paperback
Paradise is where my parents retired and are buried. The house they lived in burned down in the fire after 34 years of wonderful memories with my husband and our 3 children. We are just so grateful that my parents died before the fire, my dad being the last in 2016 at over 100 years old. Our youngest son has autism and trouble reading so this was the perfect book to have him read to me. It’s just at his reading level and was a very exciting story. We appreciate all of the facts about the fire the author put in the last pages of this book, too.

Fast Pace Scary Read
Format: Kindle
A short read that grabs your heart strings from the beginning and doesn't stop until the very end. You can feel the terror, the fear, the fire and smell the smoke as the kids run for their lives. You cheer the kids on scared for them and the pets. My heart racing, tears forming, worry working its way in, do they make it? Read this book to find out. Kudos to the authors for excellent writing. A book all should read and discuss with their families!!!

Grabs Your Attention from the Start
Format: Paperback
Well written and definitely grabs and keeps your attention. I read it in one sitting. So did my mom and sister. Just a warning, this book did trigger some anxiety for me because of the fire. It uses actual street names and timeframes. We love to read the “I Survived” series to my son and this one was better in my opinion but I have ties to Paradise.
