Age: Toddler - 1st grade

In the light of the rising sun, the young weaver begins her work in the sky. Using the world around her, she creates a tapestry of laughter, love, and colors below her. As the world comes to rest, she settles in with her family in the sky.

The watercolor artwork captures the rich, flowing beauty of the world. This book is absolutely full of beautifully mixed colors. Although the story is beautiful, I'm not exactly sure what the weaver's purpose is because she does not create the earth, only creates from it. Perhaps its just a glorified projection of children creating artwork of their surroundings. In that case, this book would provide an excellent introduction to still life or using nature as your painting subject.
