Textual Pointillism
This is a portrait of my son made up of the first few sentences from 100 different books that we have read to him or that he has read. It begins with Goodnight, Moon and incorporates books by Dr. Seuss and many other authors, ending with brief excerpts from the Harry Potter books.
