Seize the day in the name of art. This creative call to arms from the mind of Neil Gaiman combines his extraordinary words with deft and striking illustrations by Chris Riddell.
'Like a bedtime story for the rest of your life this is a book to live by. At its core it's about freeing ideas shedding fear of failure and learning that "things can be different" ' INSTITUTE OF IMAGINATION
Be bold. Be rebellious. Choose art. It matters.

Drawn together from speeches poems and creative manifestos Art Matters explores how reading imagining and creating can change the world and will be inspirational to young and old.
THIS PAPERBACK EDITION INCLUDES BEAUTIFUL NEW ILLUSTRATIONS OF 'GOING WODWO'.
