As she enters her final year of teaching, Paley tells in this book a story of farewell and a story of self-discovery--through the thoughts and blossoming spirit of Reeny, a little girl with a fondness for the color brown and an astonishing sense of herself. "This brown girl dancing is me," Reeny announces, as her crayoned figures flit across the classroom walls. Soon enough we are drawn into Reeny's remarkable dance of self-revelation and celebration, and into the literary turn it takes when Reeny discovers a kindred spirit in Leo Lionni--a writer of books and a teller of tales. Led by Reeny, Paley takes us on a tour through the landscape of characters created by Lionni. These characters come to dominate a whole year of discussion and debate, as the children argue the virtues and weaknesses of Lionni's creations and his themes of self-definition and an individual's place in the community. The Girl with the Brown Crayon tells a simple personal story of a teacher and a child, interweaving the themes of race, identity, gender, and the essential human needs to create and to belong. With characteristic charm and wonder, Paley discovers how the unexplored territory unfolding before her and Reeny comes to mark the very essence of school, a common core of reference, something to ponder deeply and expand on extravagantly. 606 $aLanguage arts (Preschool)$zIllinois$zChicago$vCase studies 606 $aChildren's literature$xStudy and teaching (Preschool)$zIllinois$zChicago$vCase studies 606 $aPreschool children$xBooks and reading$zIllinois$zChicago$vCase studies 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLanguage arts (Preschool) 615 0$aChildren's literature$xStudy and teaching (Preschool) 615 0$aPreschool children$xBooks and reading 676 $a372.18019 700 $aPaley$b Vivian Gussin$f1929-$0481840 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455386203321 996 $aThe girl with the brown crayon$92035082 997 $aUNINA
