'Calling all art lovers with children in your lives: These books are for you. The kid-friendly books pair famous works of art with read-aloud text that lets little ones tap into themes of love, adventure and friendship.' - USA Today on Oprah's Favorite Things 2023

'Shana Gozansky's board books stare head-on at naysayers arguing that fine art isn't for children ... Gozansky's board books have the feel of a gift book from a museum exhibit; the cover is thick, textured, and gives the sense that there's a treasure inside ... These books provide an introduction to famous works and what we can see in our own human experience through them.' - Cosmic Bookshelf

'Helps children understand the meaning and power of love.' - Berkshire Life

'Emotions for toddlers and pre-school children can be confusing. This book (my personal favourite) brings together 35 full-page colour artworks by famous artists, including Matisse, Jeff Koons and Antony Gormley, each accompanied by a short, read-aloud text that introduces the feeling of happiness (and its transitory nature).' - Independent

'[A] clever little book.' - Absolutely Mama
