Everyday: The Problem We All Live With, by Norman Rockwell.
In this picture based on an actual event, a young girl named Ruby Bridges walks into a school that for the very first time was opening its doors to African-American children.
The artist shows you the scene as a child would see it from a short distance away.
- How does this child’s-eye view help you understand what Ruby is experiencing?

How Artists See Heroes: Myth, History, War, Everyday
by: Colleen Carroll
In How Artists See Heroes, sixteen works of art show the many different ways a selection of great artists have perceived and expressed the diversity and variety of heroes throughout the ages. Here are Michelangelo's David, Liberty Leading the People by Eugene Delacroix, Moonwalk by Andy Warhol, and an award-winning photograph of Mohammed Ali by Neil Liefer to name a few examples. Author Colleen Carroll's engaging, conversational text is filled with thought-provoking questions and imaginative activities that spark children's natural curiosity both about the subject of the artwork and about the way it was created.
