During my first year of teaching elementary art, I wrote a little poem to help my students learn the names of LINES, an important element of art. The poem was called Larry the Line.
I'm excited to share that Larry the Line has now expanded from a once-short poem to a children's book that I have written and illustrated.
Inside the pages of this 8.5" X 11", 42-page children's book, you'll learn all about LINES in a fun, catchy, and rhyming way. The bright and bold illustrations will allow students to easily understand and learn.
Lines are introduced with their characteristics explained such as, "A vertical line goes up and down, it stretches from the sky down to the ground. Vertical lines are strong and stable, like the sides of a building and the legs of a table!"
I illustrated the book with large, bright, and bold drawings so it could be enjoyed on the lap of a child or shown around the room to a classroom of students.
So whether you are a parent, grandparent, or guardian of a child eager to learn this important element of art or a classroom teacher looking for an engaging way to introduce students to LINE, I know you will love Larry the Line!
BONUS PAGES! In the back of the book, there are two bonus pages filled with examples of LINES to be shared with the young artists in your life.

I can’t wait to introduce Larry the Line at our Jungle Adventure Art Camp this summer!! Your creative adventures never cease to amaze me, Cassie!!
I think this will be a very engaging book to read to my students while giving them important art concepts about line.
I use this book all the time! Kids love this story and it’s great reinforcement of line!
Really fun book! My young students just loved the little story and visuals were the perfect prompt/reference to get them to explore and understand line. My 4 year old class read the book one week, and the following week I asked them if they remembered the friend we had met in the book last week and a bunch shouted “Larry!!!” so it definitely sticks!
I homeschool my 4 kids ages 2-12. They absolutely loved Larry the Line. The art was beautiful and the story was fun. I really enjoyed the quality of the book itself. Great job Cassie
