Book Love: Nutshell Library by Maurice Sendak

Our favorite books by the late Maurice Sendak are these volumes in the Nutshell Library.  This set of tiny books was a birthday gift two years ago, (thank you Tavia!), and has obviously been well-loved.  The four stories were written and illustrated by Maurice Sendak in 1962.  Alligators All Around, Pierre, One Was Johnny and Chicken Soup with Rice represent Sendak’s gift for turning few words and detailed drawings into stories that connect and intrigue children.  The size of the books are perfect for tiny hands to hold and slip into pockets.  One of our friends recalls singing the lyrics to the books as a child.  They were put to music by Carole King and she and Sendak worked together on a tv special, seen here.  We miss you Maurice!

Sketch Book

Ada’s sketchbook, age two.  She has a bunch of these and we have a stack of blank ones upstairs, waiting to be filled.  I love watching the progression of drawing and writing as she gets older.  One is filled with stickers and the beginnings of words and one is fat with glued-in papers.  I am excited for the days when she writes down her own stories and thoughts in the pages.  A blank book and some markers is my idea of the perfect birthday gift for a child.

Color Jars

Amherst Mass, beauty, children's art, Eric Carle Museum, home treasures, illustration, organizing art supplies, recycled jars, recycled tops, trash art

We found these jars at the Eric Carle Museum in Amherst Massachusetts.  The Art Studio there had some great interactive projects for the kids and lots of inspiring ideas.  (We had more fun in the library and studio than the actual exhibits).   The gift shop is a wonderful and dangerous place packed with all the best children’s authors.  I love this use of jars to organize craft materials by color.  The blues are all recycled container tops waiting for kids to make into art and the browns are seeds and bark.  Ada is constantly bringing home treasures and this is a great way to organize them.  The jars look so pretty lined up on a shelf.  I love that a simple bit of organization can turn trash into beauty.
