For an art project this year, my eighth grader is learning about collage. To familiarize himself with it, he has read/observed many picture book illustrators who use this medium. To complete his first project, he will mimic/replicate a collage illustrator. He selected Oge Mora. Below are two more picture books she has illustrated:
Saturday (she also wrote it)-Ava and her mother cherish Saturdays. Since her mother works Sunday -Friday, they plan special activities for Saturdays. This Saturday, however, each special event is ruined in some way. What is most important about their Saturdays? Sweet ending. Creative collages!
*Highly recommend.

Everybody in the Red Brick Building by Anne Wynter
A cause and effect story-When Baby Izzie howls in the middle of the night, she starts a chain of events in the red brick building. Lots of onomatopoeia. Ms. Mora is an amazing artist.
