Luxuriating in the Arts
Cash Akoza has taken First Nations style art to a new horizon.
In an older, drab area of Winnipeg, Cash has added color and theme & brightened it up for all the kids who live there.
There are 5 painted walls, all in small area between a street and an alley. It’s a place where a lot of kids live. This one of the walls.
Click on the above pic to see the mural in all its glory, and it is glorious!

I sent a book in!
Here’s another gem for Kids’ Month, from Brenda Davis Harsham of Friendly Fairy Tale fame. This poem “Flying Away” (art by Sath) is a dream! Brenda, is also a dream. Thank you for all your support this month, with this your third KM poem!
Flying Away, Used by Permission of Sath
We fly past the stars on silver wings,
rushing wind without and within.
All of life unfolds its answers
until we wake.
Alone.

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!

She sends “Best wishes for the kids month initiative.” She said I was special, but I have to change that to – we, everyone here during Kids’ Month are special.
Sidran says: “I am attaching some pics taken from Lodhi Art District, New Delhi. It is supposed to be India’s first public art district.”

Where would Kids’ Month be without a Ste J review of a kid’s book? He says there’s lots of pictures, and puts the age range at 6-8 years old. I am fascinated by the name “Rickety Hall” Thank you Ste J!
Orphaned Jonas Jones is cold and tired, and oh so hungry. And without his little dog Scraps he’d be desperately lonely, too. So when dastardly Megrim the dog catcher and his sidekick Filch decide they’re going to get rid of Scraps, Jonas knows he must do everything he can to stop them.Even if that means going for help at Rickety Hall, the spooky old house on the hill-inside which no one’s ever dared to venture.
Having just finished A Dance to the Music of Time: Summer – a review of which will be coming soon – I decided a break from anything too heavy was needed and as I want to review more children’s books this year, it made sense to pick something light up.

These sweet birdies are all over the city for young and old alike to enjoy.
This painted power box is outside of a grade school, and community park.
