Wheeling,
WV, USA -- David J. Perri's Messy Larry is about
being who you are, and about becoming who you were meant to be.
Messy
Larry is an educational, feel-good story for the creative,
art-inclined child. - Kirstan Nicole
Art
is about self-expression and the desire to create. What is the role
of art in your life? What if you had no way to express yourself? How
would you be different?
Larry
is a little different from the other kids in his grade school class.
For starters, he's big, and he's clumsy, and he looks kind of like a
bear! Larry loves art and wants to make art, but his messiness keeps
getting in the way, with hilarious results.
At
his wit's end, he seeks out a favorite relative. Great Uncle Ken
helps Larry find a way to express the beauty he knew was inside him.
But, self-realization is often a messy and uncomfortable process. The
undercurrent themes of compassion, acceptance, and understanding will
resonate with many children.
A
special "things to think about" section in the back
provides the opportunity for discussion of these themes, as well as
for the child to experience the book in a more interactive way.
