Description
Take to the sidewalk with this colorful picture book to inspire artistic expression and imagination!
Faded pavement.
Walls of gray.
Boring city streets?
No way!
Grab a piece of sidewalk chalk and join in the fun! Join a pair of adorable siblings as they explore the incredible power of a piece of chalk to transform the world around them. Joined by people of all ages from their neighborhood along the way, they use their bucket of chalk to make some sidewalk magic. With rhyming text by Chelsea Tornetto and increasingly colorful illustrations by Laurel Aylesworth, Chalk the Walk is a celebration of imagination.
About the Author
Chelsea Tornetto is a former world geography teacher who has loved writing ever since she was a kid. Her first book, Conquering Content Vocabulary, was published by Scholastic in 2018, but now her passion is picture books. She is the award-winning author of Gardens Are for Growing (Familius 2022) and God Made You Too (WorthyKids 2022), with more titles on the way. As an introverted kid growing up in Vermont, drawing came naturally to Laurel Aylesworth. Instead of going to the mall like most teenagers, you would find her in her room drawing scenes from Lord of the Rings or copying her favorite characters from Elfquest comics. Later, her career path naturally led to graphic design, but something was missing (namely, elves and magic). She found her calling as an illustrator after becoming a mother and, hence, wading knee-deep in picture books from the library.
