Outside Art

<p><strong>Join a curious pack of woodland animals as they try to understand what art is and create their own in this beautiful, playful picture book.</strong><br /><br />Pine Marten loves watching Human doing peculiar things in its log nest in the woods. One day, she notices Human putting colors on a board using a furry stick. Pine Marten learns from Chickadee that Human is actually "an artist" and is busy "making art." But <em>what</em> is art? <br /><br />Soon all of the animals in the forest are wondering: why is Human doing this? Is it a warning? Is it looking for a mate? Is there any meaning at all? And if Human can make "art," why can't the animals do it too?<br /><br /><em>Outside Art </em>is a gorgeous and gently humorous exploration of art, creativity and nature by up-and-coming author-illustrator Madeline Kloepper.</p>
