But his other teachers show themselves to be far more understanding than readers could have predicted, and all ends well. Tommy, who has been told by his aunts that real artists never copy, has a crisis. But there are a couple of hitches: the paints at school are cracked and powdery, and the art teacher only lets the children have one piece of paper, on which to “copy” her drawings. Tommy starts school, and can’t wait for the day when the art teacher comes. In honor of the occasion, here are a few of our favorite books by Tomie: Following that, the kids drew some pictures (we’ll have an artwork display soon!) and had some birthday cake!
We talked about his art, and read two books–Marianna May and Nursey and Jamie O’Rourke and the Big Potato. The Friends of the Library and Library staff had a fun program today, celebrating the life and work of Tomie dePaola.
