Available for review: "Stuff, Stuff Everywhere," Linda Gusloff, MS.Ed. (author), Gabriel Matesanz (illustrator)
Can children as young as two be taught to tidy? In this funny, age-appropriate book, children and the caring adults in their lives are encouraged to talk about how everything has a place, and that less is more.
Author Linda Gusloff, MS.Ed., runs a wildly successful Chicago-based organizing company, GAB IT OUT, featured in Chicago Tribune (online) and Windy City (ABC Chicago). Linda is a former teacher and a trained child behavioral specialist. Her exuberance for decluttering enraptures her clients and audiences.
Illustrator Gabriel Matesanz (RISD honors grad ’18) is a charming newcomer to the children’s market. His award-winning projects are crossovers between illustration and animation. Under his whimsical pen, children learn to transform their rooms from cluttered to organized.
