Not only a tribute in pictures, "The Art of Kim Anderson" is also a celebration of childhood and is divide into thematic chapters with accompanying original essays, including "Let's Pretend by Francine Prose, "Little Girls" by Letty Cottin Pogrebin, "First Love" by Phillip Lopate, and others from Susan Cheever, Patricia Hampl, and Catherine Calvert.
