Storytime prints (Set of 4) updated

 

I released this print set in 2019, and I’m just updated it and re-sharing it. Check it out for your classroom, library, organization, or home. Why did I do these? I made these to illustrate children of color reading or being read to to foster an environment that is welcoming and encourages reading for fun.

Happy new year y’all. This is the third print in the series of “story time” pieces. Why do them? To make art that encourages young people to read. You can see the other prints here on the blog.
I’m passionate about literacy and I hope that this artwork will make it into a classroom, library, organization, day care, or home near you. The subject of this piece is a young father of color and his child reading. Thats it.
