“We believe that 'every child is an artist,' as Pablo Picasso once said. As such, our nonprofit is dedicated to providing equitable access to art enrichment, so that every child can unleash their inner artist!”

— Leora Saposnik, Artistic Director

IDENTITY was the theme of The Little Book Project’s eighth edition, slated to be released on June 1, 2024. It was produced in collaboration with Little Picassos, a free after school art enrichment program for underserved, low- income children in Madison, WI. The org provides a safe, nurturing place in which to: create, learn about art, artists and art history. Emphasis is also placed on featuring artists of color and/or emerging artists. Throughout the program, every child is celebrated for their own unique talents and gifts and are encouraged to dream big — plus use artist-grade materials to represent their emotions or thoughts on paper, canvas, wood, clay, mosaic and/or fiber.

Thus, this edition includes literary and visual art solely created by children aged 14 and under that explore the notion of identity, plus the beauty that can be found in each young artist.
