Draw Me a Story: An Illustrated Exploration of Drawing-as-Language

This lavishly illustrated book reintroduces the reader to children’s drawings. Just as spoken and written language exists to convey meaning, so do children’s drawings. Whether crude or very detailed, they are rendered to “say something.” In fact, in their drawings, children can capture degrees of sophistication in perception, understanding, and emotion far beyond their literacy level. The author believes that drawing is a language in its own right.
