Exploring identity through picture books and American landscape painting
In short: Join Met educator Christina for a reading of Yamile Saied Méndez’s “Where Are You From.” This session connects contemporary storytelling with a classic 19th-century oil painting from The Met's collection.
The session bridges the gap between literature and fine art by linking the book to Thomas Cole’s "View on the Catskill—Early Autumn" (1836-37). This activity is designed for families with children between 18 months and 6 years old, offering a way to engage with the museum's collection from home through reading and art.
