Little Book With Big Ideas
Why Art? - Eleanor Davis
A short, funny story exploring what art is, who makes art and why is art good for society.
Short, Sad, Beautifully Illustrated Story
Zenobia - Morten Durr & Lars Horneman
The horrors of war told from a Syrian girl's experience. This short read is mostly beautiful illustrations with a powerful ending.
All Work Threatens Some Play
En el Séptimo Día
A group of undocumented Mexican immigrants grinds six days a week and plays soccer the seventh, until a self-centered boss gets in the way. A look at the rigorous lives of many immigrants and the importance of standing up for yourself, complete with some funny moments.
Slim Pickins' in March, but...
Why Art? is a whimsical little graphic novel worth a read. It's a work of art itself and answers "why art?" without sounding like a snobby critic.
Sorry guys. I lost track of my movie list due to a trip abroad, weeks of lethargic sickness and a lot of time watching junk on Netflix. Still, let me know what you think about these three titles, and check out my five-word reviews for February for more stories to read and watch.
