What happens when the assumptions and practices of museum curators and art educators intersect with the assumptions and practices of publishing for children? This study explores how over three hundred children's picture books, most of them published in the last three decades in English, introduce children to art and art museums. It considers how the books emerge from and relate to a range of theories and assumptions about childhood and childhood development, children's literature and culture, illustration, visual art, museology, and art education. As well as examining how these theories and assumptions influence what picture books teach young readers about visiting museums and about how to look at and think about art, it examines which artists and artworks appear most often in picture books and offers a survey of different kinds of art-related picture books: ones that claim to be purely informational, ones that make looking at art a game or a puzzle, ones in which children visit art museums, and many more. Since the books all include reproductions of or allusions to museum artworks, the study also considers the problems illustrators face in depicting museum artworks in illustrations in a different style.

MiniEco is the sensational craft blog of Kate Lilley.

With a book for children already under her belt, this publication focuses more on adults with 33 pieces including paper gems, an origami lampshade, macrame hangings, pop-up pixel cards, hama bead candle holders, and tie-dyed furoshiki cloths. The ideas range in complexity from the simple to the advanced, but each one is totally unique and has never before been published. The look of the book will reflect the immaculate, Japanese-inflected minimalism of the MiniEco website, with some high-end production finishes including a die-cut, dust-jacketed paperback binding and boldly pared-back photography. QR codes will link to animated gifs of the craft being made.
