Beautiful and bright giclee print of a paper cut created for the Horn Magazine! When I Read, I See Me was created to reflect that children want to see themselves in the books they read.
 
I thought about the books I grew up reading and how they impacted my life as a black girl in Virginia. These titles listed are some of the books I read that reflected black people and black culture when I was young.
 
Titles listed:
Why The Sun and Moon Live in the Sky - Elphinstone Dayrell
Mufaro's Beautiful Daughters - John Steptoe
Anansi the Spider - Gerald McDermott
The People Could Fly - Virginia Hamilton
Jambo Means Hello - Muriel Feelings
Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People's Ears - Verna Aardema
Corduroy - Don Freeman

These giclee prints are printed on premium Hahnemuhle German etching paper with rich inks that print bold. There are a limited number of prints available, and the only print run.
