Chani Sanchez is the founder of the Museum of Amazing Art, which curates contemporary art and culture for children and their families. After the birth of her daughter Nika, and following several years in a career that involved buying and archiving art for an influential art collector, Chani began using fine art to create educational experiences for kids. Her goal has been to help children develop a language for their feelings and emotions. She also guides and supports parents in the raising of emotionally literate children through her private coaching practice. To learn more about her, visit her at www.chanisanchez.com.
" Pictures by contemporary artists and a wacky sense of humor make
for an amusing read."
-Parents Magazine "Helping children do the important work of
learning to name their feelings, while distracted by awe-inspiring
visuals from top-tier contemporary artists including Jeff Koons,
Takashi Murakami, Yoshitomo Nara, Damien Hirst, and more."
-Beata Bliss Lewis, M.D., Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, NYU
"Chani Sanchez has written a beautiful book combining the basic
feelings of happy, sad, surprised, angry, and lonely with magical
pieces of art to make these feelings come alive. There Are NO
Animals in This Book (Only Feelings) is a funny and entertaining
way to look at art. Kids will love it and so will parents
-Julie Appel, author of the Touch the Art series "I can't think of
a better idea than matching contemporary artworks with a children's
story. Anything that makes children look and think about art as
well as encouraging learning must be applauded, especially when
it's done in a manner which is both fun and instructive."
---James Stourton, former Chairman of Sotheby's UK, and author of
Great Collectors of Our Time: Art Collecting Since 1945. "Inventive
and fun!"
-Rupert Everett, actor and art collector.
