About the Book

      The book exhibits 100 drawings done by Alan Zhang before his 15th birthday, collected by his parents. The drawings are divided into seven categories: Cities and Scenes, Sciences, Nature, Computer Graphics, Movies, Cartoons, and Love. Under each category there are more than ten art works. Some have his parents’ comments. The art reflects a kid’s view of the world around him, his unrestricted imagination, happiness and sense of humor. By the arrangement of the art, the audience can see a child’s potential and progress. Treasuring a child’s idea and creativity is the purpose of this book. It may inspire you to do something for your children similar to what Alan’s parents have done.
      Children will love this book because the illustrations are done by a peer. Adults may also be amused by the unimaginable kid’s conception in the book. The book provides an enjoyable opportunity for children and parents to read together.
