The Noisy Paint Box: The Colors and Sounds of Kandinsky’s Abstract Art is a book by Barb Rosenstock and it is illustrated by Mary Grandpre. This book is about a young boy who was given a paintbox by his aunt and claims he can hear colors. One of the connections I can make to this story is text to text connection. This is because I once read a book on Picasso, Picasso made abstract art as well and the book was about his life and how different he was from others. Another connection I can make to this story is text to media. Abstract art is all over social media because people seem to like abstract art.

After the Fall: How Humpty Dumpty Got Back Up Again by Dan Santat is a wonderful book about not giving up. In the book, Humpty Dumpty was afraid of heights after his great fall. He could not enjoy anything because of his fear. In the end, he learned to face his fears head-on and he hatched to become a bird and fly high. A connection I can make is text to self. In my life there have been many times where I feel like giving up but, now I know that giving up is not an option. Another connection I can make is text to media. Online there are many people who are always preaching about not giving up and staying determined. The last connection I can make is text to text. I once read a book about not giving up and how to push through difficult situations.
