Sakr’s detailed case studies are not only thoroughly grounded in an appreciation of classroom practice and a knowledge of the academic literature but challenge both in ways that require reevaluation.

Far more than just a how-to guide, Sakr provides a clear explanation of contemporary sociocultural and developmental theories, and then uses them to reveal children’s digital art making in a whole new light. Her observational research shows how playful, creative, and interactive children can be when they engage with digital media. This book reveals the unexpected depth of sensory and social engagement that young children experience when they make digital art, and provides practitioners a lens for seeing what and how children are learning in the process.

This makes for an interesting read.
