Is That a Picasso on Your Fridge?: Kids' "Masterpieces" Critiqued by an "Art Expert"
by Dan ConsiglioKids create them. Parents submit them. An art critic reviews them. And don't think for one second he doesn't know exactly what he's talking about! <P><P>With characteristically overblown, egotistical, WTF critiques, this book hilariously deconstructs works of children's art as if they were the newest installations at a modern art museum.Age can't constrain greatness. Mozart composed at five. Picasso was painting at seven. If one doubts that young children reveal signs of genius every time they touch crayon to paper, just ask any parent about the artwork on their refrigerator door. But regular people don't understand "art," so it is impossible for them to see the difference between the work of an idiot savant and a kid who's just an idiot. In this book with its 60 color images of real kids' artwork, New York art critic Dan Consiglio separates the wheat from the chaff in the field of children's art.
Is There Bacon in Heaven?: A Memoir
by Ali HassanFor fans of Russell Peters, Trevor Noah, and Mark Critch comes a hilarious debut memoir about family, pursuing our passions, and figuring out who we are, by stand-up comedian and popular CBC host, Ali Hassan.Growing up, Ali Hassan was a chameleon. His friends came from many different backgrounds and religions—Trinidadian, Parsi, Goan, Hindu, Christian, Sikh. And as a hockey-playing, Crock-Pot–using young man who also knew the words to at least ten Blue Rodeo songs, he could blend in everywhere. But the world has a funny way of reminding you who you are, and Hassan&’s Muslim Pakistani family and community did, too. In this heartfelt and funny memoir, based on his hit stand-up comedy, Hassan shares his lifelong journey to becoming a &“cultural Muslim&”—learning to walk the line of embracing his heritage while following his passions and being true to himself. From failing to learn Arabic—or much of anything—in Sunday school and visiting family in Pakistan who mocked him relentlessly, to discovering the wonders of pepperoni as a teenager and being a celebrity judge at Ribfest, he finds himself in compromising situations that challenge his beliefs and identity. Now, as a father of four, he has to answer his children&’s questions and try to explain his point of view. But he can&’t just &“give them&” an identity as a cultural Muslim. Sharing his story is the next best thing. With the perfect blend of humour and insight, Is There Bacon in Heaven? explores the deep need to belong that exists in everyone.
