Description

In 'Art makes a difference!' a family from Anthony Browne's 'Zoo' visits an art museum for Mom’s birthday. Initially doubtful, Dad and the two sons begin to appreciate art through Mom's guidance. The narrative reflects Browne's time as writer-and-illustrator-in-residence at Tate Britain, where he taught literature and the shape game using the gallery’s resources to inner-city school children. The book features Browne's unique transformation of famous Tate paintings and includes a drawing game that he has played since childhood, emphasizing how art can change perspectives.
