A Book A Day ... SHAUN TAN!! Give art!

Okay, most of us can't afford to go to a gallery and splurge on a painting that could cost thousands to tens of thousands of dollars.
Great, accessible art, though, is just a picture book away. Some of today's greatest artists are in your favorite bookstores and libraries. And the art of Shaun Tan is incomparable. A short animated film Oscar award winner -- for an adaptation of his picture book The Lost Thing -- Shaun Tan is one of my favorite illustrators, story tellers ... artists. If my family let me, I might consider wall papering my home with all the pages of his books. (I so SO love The Red Tree)

Give art! Surprise someone with not just one painting but a book of them!
