This one was short but sweet. It wasn’t as powerful or as deep as I was hoping it would be, but I was still moved by it.

Davis’s artwork is lovely. It’s so concise. The illustrations are simple and organic, and the characters are full of, well, character. The art style works well with the story’s theme of vulnerability.

I’m afraid there’s not much else to say. Why Art? is a nice little book. Definitely worth a read but don’t set your expectations unrealistically high. The drawings will make you smile, and the text will make you think. That’s all there is to it.
