Tour Dates: December 9, 2013 – January 10, 2014 Title: Sneaky Art: Crafty Surprises to Hide in Plain Sight Author: Marthe Jocelyn Genre: Crafting Publisher: Candlewick Publication Date: March 26, 2013 Paperback: 64 pages Age Range: Grades 3 to 7/Ages 8 to 12 Synopsis: For young artists, tricksters, and crafters, here is a hip, friendly how-to manual for creating removable and shareable art projects from easily found materials. The sneaky part is in the installation! Each work of art is custom-created for display in public places — a tiny cork-bottomed boat in a public fountain, a plate of tiny paper cupcakes on your teacher’s desk, a penny left on the ground for a stranger, a funny message left on your mother’s bathroom mirror, and more. This utterly unique guide — part craft book, part art-philosophy — offers a stylish and sweet "made-you-look-twice" spirit of fun meant to put a smile on the faces of strangers and loved ones alike.
