This is the story of a young boy who discovers a colorful
quilt in his drawer. When his mother, artist Sonia Delaunay-Terk comes in, she
tells him how the colors can take them on a journey through sight and sound.
Readers discover along with the son, the famous pieces of the artist and how
they represent sound and movement through color.
I think our art teacher would adore this book! I think
student readers on their own would be a bit confused but enjoy the imaginary
journey. I like that this book is about an female artist from the early 1900s.
I probably wouldn’t seek this out for my library but it couldn’t hurt –especially
if your school has a big art program.
