About the AuthorsEmmanuel Doron Louissaint was born on April 7, 2009. "Doron" is a Hebrew name meaning "Gift." As the name suggests, Doron's parents, Daphney and Harry, considered Doron a true gift from God as it was difficult for them to conceive a child during their first three years of marriage. They had to rely on their faith and spent several hours, months, even years in prayers before they could see their cherished and precious gift. Before Emmanuel was born, his parents had a premature four-month-old baby named Benjamin who unfortunately died during labor. This tragic moment really devastated the family but did not break their faith. Doron and his sister Liel are very precious to their parents. Doron is a very gifted child, a talented music student; he plays the piano and the cello. Doron is now in 6th grade and he only has about a month and a half to move on to 7th grade. Doron excels in school, in math, science, and has had several math, science, and academic awards. Doron is a bit reserved but caring-a characteristic that he probably got from his mom. Another aspect of Doron's characteristics is that he is strongminded. His dad would probably say he got that from him. Some of Doron's hobbies are reading, writing, exploring nature, and learning about science. Doron's dream is to become an allergist to help people suffering with allergies. Liel-Bernice Louissaint was born on December 15, 2011. "Liel" is a Hebrew name meaning "My God." Liel's parents, Daphney and Harry, would tell you that Liel is God's answer to their prayers because, just like Liel's brother Emmanuel, it was difficult for them to conceive another child after Emmanuel was born. They had to rely on their faith and spent several hours, months, even years in prayers. Liel, as her dad would say, is the "apple of my eye." Liel is a very gifted child, a talented music student. She plays the piano and the violin. Liel is also gifted spiritually. Liel is very curious about the Bible, the word of God. She also started praying and singing Christian songs at a very young age. She likes advising and encouraging people. Liel is now in 4th grade and she only has about a month and a half to move on to 5th grade. Liel excels in school, art, and has had several art and academic awards. Liel is very outgoing and caring. Another aspect of Liel's characteristics is that she is strongminded. Her dad would probably say she got that from him. Some of Liel's hobbies are reading, writing, exploring nature, and learning about animals.

About the BookIn the late 1930s, with World War II looming, the famous German Bauhaus art school closed, and many of its teachers migrated to America, greatly influencing the course of modern art and architecture in the 1940s and 1950s. Influenced by the work of Bauhaus painters such as Lyonel Feininger, Paul Klee, and Wassily Kandinsky, a young artist named Milton Cavagnaro began what would become a lifetime art career in San Francisco that spanned abstract painting, commercial design, college teaching, jewelry making, gardening and landscaping. During this journey, many famous mid-century artists, beginning their own careers, would grace his family's life as friends or visitors, including photographers Ansel Adams, Imogen Cunningham, Ernest Braun; Margaret Bourke White and Yohana Meith, the first women photographers for Life; and close associates of Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo. Milton's history, as told here by son David Cavagnaro, became in the writing the much larger story of five generations in the family, all passing along the torch of creativity via a plethora of media. Lavishly illustrated, this journey demonstrates that the definition and expression of art can permeate all of life, if we also live life itself as art. About the AuthorDAVID CAVAGNARO is the author of six previous books and a widely published writer and photographer in the fields of natural history and horticulture. Having spent most of his life in Northern California, his former home and land in Northeast Iowa have become The Pepperfield Project, a nonprofit devoted to sustainable food gardening, seed-saving, and personal growth, body, mind, and spirit.

I find that communication around these hard topics can be difficult to start with our young children.
