It’s storytime with Danielle Krysa! Author of “How To Spot An Artist”, Danielle will be reading her latest children’s book, "ART and JOY - Best Friends Forever". It's a story about two best friends, Art and Joy, who love being creative — until the Art Bully shows up and starts putting doubts in Art's ear! After we’ve read the story (and had a few sweet treats), we’ll roll up our sleeves and make some of the projects from the back of the book — like turning boring grey rocks into chubby green pickles, for example! Fun and silly, and not an Art Bully in sight!

ABOUT THE BOOK:
This is the story of two best friends—Art and Joy—and how they overcome the insidious “Art Bully” that criticizes their creative endeavors. Danielle Krysa knows that kids have an inner critic too—the kind that tells them their artworks are stupid, messy, the wrong color, or just plain wrong.
Employing the same arch humor that make her books for adults so relatable and helpful, Krysa illustrates this uplifting tale with her brilliantly colored collages and witty typography. As Art and Joy learn how to tap into their imaginations and shrug off the Art Bully, they also discover some clever ways to get their creative juices flowing using color, shape, line and found objects.
Kids of all ages will find enthusiastic support and valuable inspiration in this playful parable.
