How to spot an artist : this might get messy / by Krysa, Danielle.;
"With nearly 200,000 Instagram followers, Danielle Krysa has helped a lot of people overcome the fear that they "aren't creative." In books like Creative Block and Your Inner Critic Is a Big Jerk she calls out the self-criticism that keeps us from claiming and expressing our artistic abilities. Now she uses her characteristic playfulness, gorgeous illustrations, and humor to help kids overcome negativity about their artistic endeavors-and to help them redefine what being an artist means. Every page delivers an encouraging tidbit to the kid who thinks artists all live in cities, or that art has to look like something familiar, or that painting and drawing are the only way to make art. In a world that drastically undervalues creative freedom, Krysa's whimsical paintings and collages joyfully proclaim that art is essential and that artists are everywhere. The back of the book includes ideas for art projects-because "who wants less art projects? Nobody!""--Provided by publisher.LSC

25 years of 22 minutes : an unauthorized oral history of This hour has 22 minutes, as told by cast members, staff, and guests / by Mombourquette, Angela,author.;
"The final chaotic season of Codco had just wrapped when Mary Walsh sat down at a Toronto bistro with George Anthony, then creative head of CBC TV's arts programming. She'd been thinking about a news-based comedy show--did he think that would fly? He did. That was the early '90s. Twenty-five seasons later, hundreds of thousands of Canadians continue to tune in weekly to This Hour Has 22 Minutes for its unashamedly Canadian, bitingly satirical take on politics and power. 25 Years of 22 Minutes takes readers backstage to hear first-hand accounts of the show's key moments-in the words of the writers, producers, and cast members who were there. Readers will have a front-row seat to the birth of the show-including a crisis that had producers scrambling in the very first episode-and an insider's take on the highs, the lows and the daily grind behind the scenes at 22 Minutes."--

The way of play : using little moments of big connection to raise calm and confident kids / by Bryson, Tina Payne,author.; Wisen-Vincent, Georgie,author.;
"Most parents understand that unstructured play time is good for a child's attention span and creativity, but new science has discovered that specific, deliberate, playful interaction with parents is the key to their healthy emotional development and later resilience as well. As New York Times bestselling author Tina Payne Bryson and nationally recognized play expert Georgie Wisen-Vincent explain, this doesn't mean getting on all fours and making toy car sounds or enrolling a child in mommy-and-me classes; it's the daily, little moments together that can make the most impact. In The Way of Play, they detail the eight playful techniques that harness this caregiving magic and take just a few minutes, including: Leaning Into Emotions helps your child let go of anxieties, drama and chaotic behavior; Tuning Into the Body teaches a child to practice the art of surfing sensory waves; Storytelling promotes better problem solving; Thinking Out Loud fosters calmer thinking and stronger communication with you, their siblings, and everyone else"--
