Something From Nothing is the first book in the Ms. B's Art on a Cart juvenile story in verse series. Ms. B is a fun loving, caring, but quirky elementary school art teacher who takes every opportunity to teach something new. Without a permanent classroom, Ms. B rolls her cart from room to room ecnouraging young students to think out of the box while also instilling a valuable life lesson. Something From Nothing addresses the delicate topic of being a "new kid" in town that feels out of place. It is handled in a positive, yet realistic manner through the unique comparison of creating a mosaic out of recycled objects. The catchy poem and colorful illustrations will grab young readers attention and the illustrated glossary of relevant art terms is great learning tool.
