Mural Island
Mural Island | Katie Yamasaki
1 post | 1 read
Kengi drew. Fast, busy, everywhere their hands could reach and feet could travel. On the front steps, inside the fridge, across the bathroom mirror, atop the cafeteria tables, even on the roll of toilet paper. Kengi's parents are frustrated, and their principal tells them they need to stop. But Ms. Beatriz tells Kengi there's somewhere in the neighborhood that they should visit.When Kengi arrives at Mural Island, they discover a place where people can paint safely, freely, and joyfully. So Kengi does. But they're not the only one painting each day, and soon Kengi recognizes that their art doesn't have to be permanent to be monumental.With an electric, eye-catching new style from acclaimed picture book creator Katie Yamasaki, Mural Island celebrates art, expression, and the communities that cherish both.

4 ⭐In this book, we have a kid who loves to make art. They make art everywhere. So much so it gets out of hand, and they must be curtailed. They discover that there are places to make art as big and bold as you need it to be. This book is just as colorful as one would expect. What I really like is the main character Kenji is always listed as they. Children can read what they want into it or see themselves.
