Anonymouse
Ages 4-8
Art for the birds.
Art for the ants.
Art for the dogs, cats and raccoons.
Art to make them laugh, make them think, make them feel at home. But who is creating it? Only Anonymouse knows for sure . . .
This clever tale mixes street art, animals and gorgeous illustrations to create a meditation on how art can uplift any creature's spirit -- human or animal -- when it speaks directly to them.

“Inspirational and provocative.”
— CM Magazine 5 Star Review
“Sweet and wistful. . . Banksy might be flattered by this book, but he probably wouldn’t admit it in public.”
