What Is Art?: and Does It Even Matter? Courageous, Clever Crow Book

This picture book aims to help young readers feel confident expressing themselves through art. Through Coco the creative crow, children explore how different artists use creativity to share feelings, ideas, and experiences inspired by the playful worlds of artists like Picasso, L.S Lowry, Andy Warhol, and Frida Kahlo, while discovering that art can help us understand people, cultures, and emotions.

The story shows that creativity doesn’t have to be serious or perfect… it can be playful, joyful, and simply for fun. Using simple but thoughtful language, the book gently challenges children’s ideas about what art can be, encouraging them to think more deeply while feeling free to explore and trust their own creative voice.
