The traditional costume is very beautiful.
The happiness is beautiful.

This mural even has a map,
..and a doll, which could possibly be King Philip of Spain. If anyone knows for sure, I would love to be educated!

Kids’ Month 2017
An ice-cream dream to you, Frank! What a wonderful post for Kids’ Month. It’s synchronicity. I decide to have a Kids’ Month, and you find an Ice Cream Dream mural. Thank you times the stars!
Every kid dreams of a party like this …
. .. with ice cream
… and cake
… and cookies
… friends and happiness
… and our imaginary friends too
All for this young lady
… It’s a good day for her.
Ice Cream Daydream is a vibrant mural created by ArtWorks at 33 East 12th Street in Cincinnati’s Over the Rhine district. This mural is full of imagination, fun and joy.
ArtWorks is a unique non-profit organization that employs and trains local youth to create art in the community. To date, ArtWorks is responsible for over 100 murals throughout Cincinnati – which many are in the main part of the city.

I just got a big case of the shivers reading “Panda Moon” by Brenda. This is my 4th read, and it just gets better. Brenda, you are a dear fairy person, and I thank you so much for all your support here during Kids’ Month! ❤

Owls are amazing creatures that go to work under the colors of night.
I found this painted owl on the side of a tiny building in Winnipeg.
Cindy Knoke found a real life owl at “The Living Coast Discovery Center in The San Diego Bay National Wildlife Refuge. It’s amazingly gorgeous, and if you click on Cindy’s photo of the owl, you will get to see an entire post filled with this beauty!
My painted owl is very pretty, and lovely to look at. However, when I look at Cindy’s owl, I want to hold it and kiss it and hug it and love it.
A big “thank you” to Cindy Knoke, a fave blogger of mine. She takes fabulous photographs, and shares them with us. Her blog is visually gorgeous and educational. She has joined with me to help make this wonderful Owl Art post into more than just another pretty face. It now has a beautiful soul.

This is the book I bought.
Last year, at this time, I hosted Kids’ Month.
When Sherrie & I found this mural at a Community Center in Winnipeg, I knew there would be a second Kids’ Month.
What I love about this mural is that kids helped to paint it.
Take a sec to blow up the pic below, & really see the complete mural.
This year Kids’ Month will be more inclusive than just street art.
There will be poetry in combo with street art & original artwork by fellow bloggers. I’ve got some educational posts planned, in conjunction with street art.
I’ll be reblogging some reviews of Kids’ books & a special reblog about Puffins.
Today I bought a picture book for Michele Eastman’s “Picture Book Pass It On” drive.
I’ll be sending it through ground mail. It will be a small investment, that I believe will do a big good.
This is going to be one fun month!
