Recycle! Reuse! Make Art!Kenya’s class is on spring vacation and their teacher asked them to write a report about how they spent their time. But vacation is almost over and Kenya hasn’t done anything worth noting. A late visit to a museum’s recycling exhibit and a walk through her neighborhood with her daddy inspire Kenya to use her old, broken toys and other items to make art with her family. Now she’s prepared to teach her whole class how to Recycle! Reuse! Make Art!This warm and engaging companion to Kenya’s Song depicts the enthusiasm and creativity of one young girl in a diverse community who engages wholeheartedly with her friends, her environment, and herself.

Excerpt From Book

“Why are you playing with that old airplane?” Mosi asked.             “It’s my prize,” Kenya said. “I won it in art class.”             “That was two years ago,” Mosi said.             “Kenya, I asked you to get rid of your broken toys,” Mom said.             “But I won this airplane, Mom,” Kenya replied. “The art teacher said my drawing was the most original.”             “It only has one wing,” Mom said. “Get rid of all your broken toys, even that airplane. Then ask Daddy to help you with your school project. I’m taking Mosi to her friend’s party.”
