Great book

I just finished a new book entitled Illness And The Art Of Creative Self-Expression by John Graham-Pole published by HARP and given to me for free for being a Our Stories Matter Youth Ambassador with Digitally Lit!

This book is a self-help book to encourage everyone to become an “artist”. As an adult, I do not use art nearly enough and I did a lot of the activities which helped me see the potential in myself!

I liked this book because I really broke the boundaries of I am an artist and I can do art! I really liked all of the personal stories that the author shared about patients and volunteers about the community of arts.

As Someone who has a physical disability I really connected with this book. I found all of what the author said was true especially the way to view art in the hospital? Most adult hospitals are very dark and dreary and I founding it interesting to look at how society views the arts in the healthcare system.

In conclusion, I think that this is a great book for everyone to read!
I rate it 🌟🌟🌟🌟/5 stars

I recommend this book.
