Introduce your children to designer William Morris in this beautiful children’s book Beautiful Useful Things: What William Morris Made by Beth Kephart and Melodie Stacey for Abrams Books for Young Readers.In a simplified version of his signature style, this book introduces William Morris as a designer, environmentalist, and entrepreneur. 

Share your own interests with your children! I was looking up designs by William Morris and requesting giant coffee table books about his work from the library. Then I decided to check out the non-fiction stacks of the children’s library and found this gem. 

Kids are great observers and pick up on all the things you do. This is your reminder that you can share your interests with your kids at their level with the help of books! What is your passion or interest? Art, baking, science, politics, sports, outdoors, whatever your hobby is share it with your children!

Ages: 4-8

Themes: Non-Fiction, Art, Entrepreneurship
