DALLAS, TX, UNITED STATES, December 12, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — The Lantz Museum is thrilled to announce the publication of three remarkable books by the esteemed author and artist, Christopher Lantz, this year. These works not only showcase his literary talent but also reflect his deep connection to art and emotional expression.
The Unfinished Symphony: The Odyssey of Three Creatures in Search of a Natural World
This enchanting tale, suitable for both children and adults, is narrated by a Boy and his friends who embark on a journey to question the very essence of human purpose. Their adventure culminates in a visit to the House of Symphonies, which is now known as the Lantz Museum. This story invites readers to explore profound themes through the eyes of its young protagonists.
Billy’s Necklaces
A unique multi-tool book designed for young readers, “Billy’s Necklaces” originated as a play written by Christopher Lantz. It tells the poignant story of a young girl returning home after a prolonged hospital stay, only to face the challenges of being homeschooled and feeling isolated. Her life takes a turn when she forms a friendship with the boy who brings her schoolwork, leading them to explore other dimensions together. This book is not just a story but also a reading journal, complete with writing areas, worksheets for emotional observation, and an Emotional Wheel to help young readers articulate their feelings. The diary entries are enriched with quotes from Daisaku Ikeda, the author of “Never Give Up.” Inspired by Christopher Lantz’s own experiences with polio and the isolation it brought, this book is a testament to resilience and emotional growth. The journaling and layout were thoughtfully designed by Christopher’s daughter, emphasizing the importance of emotional literacy.
Abstract Coloring Book
Christopher Lantz’s “Abstract Coloring Book” offers a distinctive experience for art enthusiasts. Unlike typical coloring books, this one features Christopher’s original paintings on one page, with the corresponding creative page displaying the underlying lines of the artwork. To ensure a clean and enjoyable coloring experience, blank pages are included with each set of paintings. This book allows users to engage with Christopher’s art in a personal and creative way.
The three books are now available in print and digital formats at leading online bookstores.
