Sue DiCicco - Adventures in Asian Art: An Afternoon at the Museum

Acknowledgments Timeless thanks to the many artists, from ancient to contemporary, whose incredible artworks are featured in this book. The mastery of skill and the depth of history (and sometimes intrigue!) that each artwork contains was the driving force for us, instilling a wish to introduce young children to them, and to the world of art in general, in an approachable and captivating way. We had the extraordinary good fortune to be guided by the highly informative and supportive museum staff, from museum director Jay Xu to the many curators, educators, and people in other specialties, such as photo services, registration, public relations, graphic design, and editorial. Thanks to you all for your thoughtful input and encouragement over many months. Endless thanks to our friend and Asian Art Museum Trustee Ann Tanenbaum, a tireless and attentive champion for the book. Special thanks and gratitude to Terri Jadick, one of the finest editors we have ever had the pleasure to work with.

To Christopher Johns, and everyone at Tuttle Publishing who have been so supportive and enthusiastic, thank you for believing in the vision and allowing us to bring it to reality. Sue DiCicco, Author and Illustrator and Deborah Clearwaters, Co-author CONTENT
