Joseph
Cornell loved to quietly dream and make shadowboxes in his home in New York.
They were like little windows into his memories and ideas. He eventually had an
art exhibit where he displayed his artwork at a height just for children.
This
felt more like a tribute to the artist, though it is a functional biography. I
think students would have trouble connecting to this book on their own. This book requires some illumination from a teacher both on context and vocabulary. Might work for a unit on creating shadow boxes/dream
boxes. The illustrations are peaceful and serene. I feel inspired to make a
dream box myself now!
