The artist Jim Dine is known for painting and sculpting large hearts. He makes us all look at this universal symbol of love with new eyes.
Children love Jim Dine’s artwork, and I love introducing them to it. On a visit to one of my favorite classes, I combined a lesson on Mr. Dine’s hearts with thoughts on kindness. Each student chose and lettered a quotation. Then, everyone drew and designed a large heart to join with the words, thus making a poster. What a lovely day we all had!
Thanks to all of you at Lake Bluff school in grades one and two. And more thanks to my computer savvy husband for turning their artwork into the following video. Kind people rock!

Greetings and welcome...
The Suitcase Lady Blog is now in its fifteenth year. I intend to keep following the advice from poet Mary Oliver, "Pay attention, be astonished and tell about it". Many thanks for being the people I tell it to.
