Harvesting Dreams: Hundertwasser for Kids

Painting is to dream, said Hundertwasser. When the dream
is over, I don t remember anything I dreamed about. The
painting, however, remains. It is the harvest of my dream. This
statement is at the heart of this engaging introduction to the
work of the eccentric artist, humanitarian, environmentalist,
and architect who dedicated his life to the beautification of the
world we live in. Dozens of activities in this book will captivate
children of all ages and take them on a journey through a
magical world of creativity and self-fulfillment. The projects
here help young readers discover nature s gifts, encourage
exploration of what lies outside one s doorstep, and
emphasize the importance of ecological harmony as vital to
living a happier life. Children and their parents will return again
and again to this colorful and entertaining tribute to an artist
whose legacy offers hope and inspiration for all of us.
