I Wanna Take Me a PictureTeaching Photography and Writing to Children by Wendy Ewald, coauthored by Alexandra Lightfoot For more than thirty years, Wendy Ewald has worked with children around the world, using photography to enable them to express what they think and feel, even on difficult subjects like their dreams and racial stereotypes. Written for parents and teachers, the book is filled with anecdotes about Ewald's work that make it an accessible and practical guide to getting children involved in photography. I Wanna Take Me a Picture uses basic assignments to teach everything from framing and point of view to how to set up a darkroom and develop film.
Ewald's work has been featured in the New York Timesand onGood Morning Americaand incorporated in public school curricula. I Wanna Take Me a Picture brings her expertise to anyone hoping to engage children visually and verbally.
