Head to Toe in English y Español introduces children to body concepts by connecting them to art in a unique, fun, and colorful way. Cheeks (mejillas), chins (barbillas), and eyes (ojos) are represented by masterful artworks from around the world. Faces (caras) come alive through the paintings of Adan Hernandez, Kehinde Wiley, and Ed Saavedra. Bodies (cuerpos) crawl, sit, and walk in pre-Columbian sculpture and Latin American wood carvings. A child’s hand (mano) strokes his mother’s face in a woodblock print by Taiso Yoshitoshi, and cousins (primas) embrace through a swirl of Barbara Carasco’s screen printed hearts. Madeleine Budnick’s wonderful collages and designs weave together words and images that prove bodies are amazing. (Nuestros cuerpos son increíbles!)
