If I Were A Magician
"The wonderful world of children's fantasy as seen through their artwork. What dream would you make come true if you were a magician, the children were asked. Here are their answers in drawings, paintings, collages, cartoons. Children express their aspirations toward beauty and happiness through these media. Even during World War Two, we hear of one mother's observation on her young daughter's activities. In spite of war around her, she would sit drawing flowers by the hour."
