Silent Days, Silent Dreams by Allen SayMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Wow. Art. How horrible to be born deaf and mute years ago, when everyone only teased you and shut you away. In this picture book, James Castle becomes an unexpected artist. Everything things he's useless since he can't talk, read or write, but he can draw. Even when his family takes away writing materials, he uses charcoal and spit and sticks to create a kinder world around him.
The different methods of drawing and painting used in this book are amazing. It's like standing inches away from a masterpiece at a museum. Fascinating.
