Neil Gaiman and Chris Riddell have joined forces once more to bring us a collection of speeches, poems and creative manifestos all packaged up in a striking and passionate project.
Art Matters explores the importance of our literacy, imaginations and creativity, and how readers can help change the world. There are no age restrictions to creating, thinking, and reading, and the earlier we start- the better.
Below is a selection of pages from Gaiman and Riddell’s illustrated essay ‘Why our future depends on libraries, reading, and daydreaming’ taken from Art Matters.
