Designers may know what it’s like to work with a demanding client, but when that client is a little toddler, it will just melt your heart! The book “Tiny Art Director” by artist Bill Zeman chronicles his work, art directed by his daughter a.k.a. the Tiny Art Director (now five years old). She tells him what to draw, he draws it, and she critiques it, and not always in the nicest ways! Her commentary makes this book a hilarious read that will be loved by both designers and parents.
