Publisher's Synopsis
Around every corner there is something to see wherever you go in this world. And around every corner is another corner. Award winning author, attorney and former teacher, Penelope Dyan and John D. Weigand, photographer extraordinaire, have written another travel book with a big purpose. Dyan knows what kids like to see, but sometimes they need a little help when it comes to seeing all the art surrounding them. And in this case we are exploring corners and around corners and we are encouraging kids to explore around corners as well, and especially the corners of their minds. Malaga, Spain is the birthplace of Pablo Picasso, and it is fitting that his birthplace should inspire you to learn, paint, write and draw, especially if you explore all around all its corners. If that doesn't make any sense to you, then you are probably too old for this book. Pablo Picasso once said, "There are painters who transform the sun to a yellow spot, but there are others who with the help of their art and their intelligence, transform a yellow spot into sun." We are not here to paint a yellow spot, and no child should paint a yellow spot. A child can paint the sun! When children travel they see with the eyes of a child. It is all about signs, things alike and things different, about animals in the clouds, and dandelions they can blow and watch as seeds float in the wind; and this should be encouraged, not discouraged.
