Oh! I love this! I probably would not have discovered it if not for the fact that it won a Caldecott honor, so ty to Children's Books group.
I appreciate how concise it is; it gets to the point directly, and is therefore powerful. I love the art, and I am glad to say that it makes me appreciate Kandinsky's own work more (which is why I read children's artist bios, but only sometimes do they succeed).
And it reminds me of what I try to do when with children making art. I don't ask them 'what is it supposed to be,' instead I say, "Please tell me about your work."

Yes, your way of dealing with art and children is much more supportive and also much better for children's imaginations.
Excellent, Cheryl!!!
