'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

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
