Maybe Something Beautiful How Art Transformed a Neighborhood || Read Aloud Read Along ||

Written by F. Isabel Campoy and Theresa Howell Illustrated by Rafael Lo'pez with discussion questions. A retelling of the true story of the Urban Art Trail in San Diego's East Village. Mira loves to make art, she paints and draws and spreads joy by giving her creations to everyone in the neighborhood. When she sees a drab gray wall she impulsively sticks her picture of the sun onto it. A muralist is inspired by her drawing. Mira and the painter bring the community together with bright colors and beautiful music.
