Two days ago, I found myself in Durham, at the same dining table where the idea for the parenting book was born, and I realized that book won’t leave me alone. When I sat down yesterday morning to write, I wrote page one for my book about parenting with art. I started typing and the words flowed. I stopped writing when I had enough words to fill the first page of my next book.

Parenting with art welcomes children to a table of abundance that parents aren't required to prepare and serve on their own. Kids receive a more decadent feast when artists, musicians, actors, and writers pull up their own chairs and join parents and other caregivers in the work of meeting their children's needs, stirring their desires, and satisfying their curiosities.
