The Girl Who Grew A Gallery

Photo of the book The Girl Who Grew A Gallery

This story tells of a little girl who loves to draw and produces lots of artwork that she likes to display around her home. One day she visits an art gallery and sees the different ways art can be displayed and stored away. After that, schools are suddenly closed and so are the offices and shops. People are getting sick and the way to stay safe is to stay at home. She and her friends can’t play with each other anymore. How will she and her friends keep in touch? How will they know what each other are up to if they can’t spend time on the playground anymore?

Praise from teachers

[The way the girl solves the problem of missing her friends] may be a way [my students] can communicate what they’ve been up to and any new news. They could share their drawings on zoom call during the break-out room.​
