Drawn Together-The New Book

*Disney Hyperion sent me a copy to check out and is partnering with me for a giveaway for the Drawn Together.*

When my grandmother was younger, she used to speak Polish to me a lot. I have vivid memories of her trying to teach me the language but ultimately being confused. At the end of her life, she really only spoke Polish but it really brought me back to the time when I was young sitting with her, trying to learn the language. That is why I am grateful that author Minh Lê and Caldecott-winning illustrator Dan Santat have debuted their first book: Drawn Together.Drawn Together Book is great!

About Drawn Together:

Author Minh Lê and Caldecott-winning illustrator Dan Santat join forces in a heartwarming story of a grandfather and his grandson as they learn to overcome their language barrier through a shared love of art and storytelling.

When a young boy visits his grandfather, their lack of a common language leads to confusion, frustration, and silence. But as they sit down to draw together, something magical happens—with a shared love of art and storytelling, the two form a bond that goes beyond words. With spare, direct text by Minh Lê and luminous illustrations by Caldecott Medalist Dan Santat, this stirring picture book about reaching across barriers will be cherished for years to come.

About the Author

He is a national early childhood policy expert, author of Let Me Finish! (illustrated by Isabel Roxas), and has written for the New York Times, the Horn Book, and the Huffington Post. A first-generation Vietnamese-American, he went to Dartmouth College and has a master’s in education from Harvard University. Outside of spending time with his beautiful wife and sons in their home near Washington, DC, Minh’s favorite place to be is in the middle of a good book. Visit Minh online at minhlebooks.com or on Twitter @bottomshelfbks.Drawn Together Book is great!

Minh Lê’s debut, Let Me Finish!, received critical acclaim, and this new picture book once again demonstrates his sensitivity to readers and mastery of the form.Drawn Together Book is great!

I can think of life changing. Scenarios that this combo creation for communication between. Two age differences would be so useful and result in greats results to bring them together. Such as a stroke, so they can communicate. My favorite part is the art work and how the two brought the story to life.

    My favorite part is how it teaches that drawing could be used as a bonding in silence method.
    Many people, especially kids don’t realize that drawing is healthy for the peacefulness of your mind.

    I simply had to say thanks once again. I am not sure the things that I would have achieved without the actual creative ideas shown by you directly on such topic.
    It previously was the frightening matter in my position, however ,
    understanding a new well-written avenue you dealt with the issue forced me to leap for contentment.
    Extremely happier for this support and even pray you comprehend what an amazing job that you are doing teaching people today with
    the aid of your blog post. Most probably you’ve never come across any
