This ground-breaking text highlights the value of drawing as a meaningful way for children to communicate, demonstrating how it is inextricably linked with children's everyday experiences, thinking processes, imagination, emotions, and learning.

By exploring what intrigues and concerns children, Children Making Meaning: Exploring Drawings, Narratives, and Identities demonstrates how drawing is so much more than an insignificant pastime. Illustrated throughout, this book includes examples of children's drawings to explore and explain the processes, relationships, and modes they use, as well as the themes and meanings that emerge from them. Practical case study material illuminates the complexity of children's thinking, intentions, and knowledge as they find creative and individual ways to convey their thoughts, fears, excitements, contentments, and fascinations. This book also explores the relationship between drawing and talk and how children's ongoing drawing-narratives help them to develop and change their meanings as they draw.
