It’s December! With the turning of the calendar to the final month of 2016, it’s time to look ahead to celebrations and gatherings with family and friends. My suggestion? Kick off the month with Maybe Something Beautiful:How Art Transformed a Neighborhood by F. Isabel Campoy and Theresa Howell, illustrated by Rafael López.

Based on the true story of Rafael and Candice Lopez’s idea to bring beauty and art to their San Diego East Village neighborhood, this is a story of transformation. It’s about how a small idea can grow to become something big and beautiful, a work of art!

From the author’s note: “Maybe Something Beautiful, illustrated by the artist who inspired it,… is an invitation to transform not only the walls and street of our cities but also the minds and hearts of communities.”
