It was a third-grade teacher who recognized Vicky Howard's talent and encouraged her on the path to becoming a successful artist. That makes "The Art of Teaching," Howard's tribute to teachers everywhere, just that more appropriate as the keepsake gift book that it is.
From heartfelt to lighthearted, Howard's illustrations are filled with intricate detail, warmth, and charm. Her design's rich colors perfectly capture the essence of all things related to favorite teachers, while selected quotations, from Beethoven, Moliere, and a host of others, complement the joyful contributions of teaching and learning.
