A Line Can Go Anywhere
A sweeping picture book biography about influential Japanese-American sculptor Aiko Ruth Asawa and her childhood spent in an incarceration camp, by award-winning author Caroline McAlister and rising star artist Jamie Green. Growing up on a dusty farm in Southern California, Ruth Aiko Asawa lived between two worlds. She was Aiko to some and Ruth to others, an invisible line she balanced on every day. But when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, suddenly she was only Aiko, no matter how much her family tried to cut the lines that connected them to Japan. Like many other Japanese Americans, Ruth and her family were sent to incarceration camps. At the Santa Anita racetrack, Ruth ran her fingers over the lines of horsehair in the stable stalls the family had moved into. At the Rohwer Relocation Center in Arkansas, she drew what she saw--bayous, guard towers, and the barbed wire that separated her from her old life. That same barbed wire would inspire Ruth's art for decades, as she grew into one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century. Throughout her career, she created enchanting twisting sculptures and curving shapes that connected, divided, and intersected. This gorgeous biography delves into the magnificent life of Ruth Asawa and her timeless contributions to the art world.

Lead and Follow
In Lead and Follow: Life Lessons Through Dancing, the art of dance becomes more than movement-it becomes a profound metaphor for life itself. Drawing parallels between the discipline of dance and the challenges of everyday living, this book invites readers to explore how technical instruction on the dance floor mirrors the lessons we encounter in our personal journeys. Fundamental in this exploration lies the principle of lead and follow, a cornerstone of dance and a guide for navigating relationships, growth, and self-discovery. Together, these roles create harmony-both in dance and in life. The book reminds us that life lessons are not confined to classrooms or books but are found in every experience that asks us to engage with the world. Dance, with its physical demands and reservoir of emotional expression, serves as a powerful teacher, offering insight into resilience, creativity, and the connections we make with those around us. As dancers learn to refine their steps, adapt to partners, and express emotion through movement, they also learn patience, discipline, and the beauty of shared purpose. Lead and Follow celebrates the universality of learning through experience. It acknowledges that while no single activity holds all the answers, each offers its unique wisdom. Dance, in particular, teaches us to listen to the rhythm within ourselves, to embrace the joy of motion, and to find balance between freedoms and structured order. Whether you are a dancer or simply someone navigating life's complexities, this book reminds you that every step-whether expressive or practical-carries you forward. In the dance of life, leading and following are not merely roles but ways of being, guiding us toward a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

Drawing to Learn
About this Book Drawing and art making are core to programming in early childhood. We know that children use the arts to make sense of their world. But do we know how this happens and how best we can support it? Art is a form of communication, a language. For young children who do not yet read and write it is a primary means of communication. But can we speak this language? Do we fully understand how the arts supports thinking and meaning making for young children? Much of early childhood practice rests on socio, cultural, historical theories. However, until now there has been no framework for the arts in early childhood that is congruent with these contemporary theories. This book effectively addresses this gap in the literature. It is a scholarly work that carefully unpacks the art making processes of young children from a Vygotskian perspective. It illustrates and demonstrates through stories and samples of children's art making processes, how drawing and the arts are a leading activity in the development of the child. It links theory to practice to empower educators to support the artistic development of young children. It demonstrates how art studio practices, when braided with socio, cultural, historical theories provide a powerful tool for learning.
