Overview
Humans are distinct from the rest of the animal continuum with our complex communication, narratives, storytelling, and world creating. We gather around the campfire absorbing tales. We read books to our kids at night awakening their sense of an expansive imaginative world. Children’s books, fine art, and literature are loaded with clever communication.
Adina’s favorite children’s books use visuals (visual and written) to awaken the imagination and engage us in a journey. Her favorite art distills narrative into something smaller and contained which represents a much larger story.
