This new book, authored by Susie Monday and Susan Marcus, takes many of the creative process ideas taught by Susie and presents them for an audience of parents of young children, most specifically those ages 4 to 7. However, many of the activities and exercises, as well as the general information about creative process and the Sensory Alphabet are of value and use to artists and learners of all ages, with or without children.


New World Kids helps parents:

Recognize and nurture their children’s natural skills, interests and ways of solving problems...their unique brand of innovation

Understand how those innate strengths can shape and guide extracurricular activities and informal learning environments for the best fit

Explore with their children the sensory alphabet, the fundamental building blocks that go beyond words and numbers

Promote in their children analytical and invention skills rarely fostered by the passive mass media environment

New World Kids contains:

208 easy-to-read full-color pages, beautifully illustrated, filled with pragmatic ways to understand, acknowledge and support your child’s strengths

A map of creative process based on more than half a century of theory and applied research in education, the arts and cognition

Step-by-step guide for parents to mentor their children through the idea-to-form process using everyday occasions and materials

More than 200 investigative activities for parents and children to do alone and together to help you uncover and exercise unique perspectives and talents

Real life stories that help you connect the dots from child’s play to innovation, mastery and success in the grown-up worlds of business and technology, art and science
