When community members work together with trucks and ships to clean up the town’s riverfront, an artist and her child hammer, chisel, weld and zap the found materials into something beautiful. Young makers will find inspiration in the playful, rhyming text and mixed media illustrations, while endnotes provide recycled-art activity ideas.
Why I like this book: Scrap Metal Swan is about a community project to clean up a river front and an artist and her child use recycled metal to create a sculpture for the area. It brings up themes of taking care of the earth and our communities.
