Another book recently read was The Class Artist by G. Brian Karas. This talented illustrator has shared a sensitive book about a boy, Fred, who has big plans for his art project. Find out what happens by the end of week in this wonderful tale of exclusion turned to inclusion and finding your talents even if they may not be what you had originally thought.Mr.Karas is the illustrator of many books and the author of a few more. He grew up in suburban Connecticut and lived for some time in a small town that was still wooded and undeveloped as well as a small town on Long Island Sound. "Children's books were a look into other worlds that were just as real to me." (from an interview for SCBWI Bologna Conference, April 12, 2005)
Just a few of the other books that he has illustrated (and won awards) include: Saving Sweetness by Diane Stanley, Car Wash by Sandra Steen, and Muncha, Muncha, Muncha by Candace Fleming. There are many more and an extensive list can be found at his website. Visit his site at: http://www.gbriankaras.com/Site/index.html
