Miramichi, New Brunswick artist and author Rita Russell’s newly released illustrated book, Logan’s Many Hats (TellWell Publishing), helps young children unlock their inner creativity and curiosity.
NEW BOOK ENCOURAGES KIDS TO CELEBRATE THEIR SENSE OF DISCOVERY
New Brunswick artist and author Rita Russell’s newly released illustrated book, Logan’s Many Hats (TellWell Publishing), helps young children unlock their inner creativity and curiosity.
In a world of specialization and early pigeonholing, Logan’s Many Hats celebrates a diversity of experiences and emphasizes the joy of trying new things. Driven by healthy curiosity, young Logan tries on many hats. He discovers the world through the eyes of a farmer, a boxer, a musician, a pirate and more.
Rita Russell (aka Logan’s grandmother) believes that encouraging creativity and curiosity is crucial in developing a healthy child and her book encourages young children to ‘just try it’ and not feel limited by getting it ‘right’. Rita has been a multi-media artist for many years and young readers will be inspired by her use of rocks, sea glass and other found objects collected from the banks of New Brunswick’s beautiful Miramichi River. Through her wonderful mix of collage and watercolor, children will learn to recognize the creative tools that are all around them.
This book will brighten the day of all who read it and teachers will value the discussion that arises when young readers aged 7 – 11 years identify with Logan in his many adventures.
Logan’s Many Hats (RRP $13.95) was released in March 2016 through Amazon.
