When I bought this book for my kid, I didn't quite know what to expect. I was very excited to find that this is a book that I can enjoy with my child. This wonderful book with a heart-warming story and beautiful pictures was able to do something I thought no book could: teach something important to a child and allow the child to have fun. This book is good for kids of all ages and for parents of all ages too.

Me and Uncle Romie-A story inspired by the Life and Art of Romare Beardon- I haven't purchased the book yet but I used it in a lesson for my 2nd graders in art. This is a beautiful story about an artist and his nephew... which allows the students to relate to seeing a real person in a real situation. The illustrations are fantastic! Romare Bearden didn't illustrate the story but the artist uses the style of Beardon to illustrate the story. You can see the pastel chalks, drawing and collage work in the pictures. Not only do I read the story to the students but I point out the style and techniques used. My students created really cool illustrations having seen and heard the story. A great book for all! I plan to add this to my wishlist of books to add to my library. I am in the midst of purchasing books and this will be one of them.

This is a great kids book, but can be used at any level. I'm an art teacher and use it in my classroom when studying Romare Bearden. The illustrations are wonderful and it gives some background on Bearden that children can understand.

I was very satisfied with my purchase. The material was in excellent condition and it was delivered on time. I am very pleased with this seller.
