In November of 2011, in an INK post titled STEM & STEAM – Interesting Nonfiction for Kids, I wrote about the importance of STEM and STEAM in the schools.
I love STEAM books. One of the reasons why I was asked to be a member of this group five years ago was of my outspokenness on art books for kids. So, in regards to my Google search above and going back to my INK roots, I wanted to provide a service to any school, library, teacher, or parent who was interested in STEAM books.
Here are just a few of the latest books that may fall into a Google search for:

And, here's a book to be published soon that my be of interest to teachers, educators, and libraries:
From STEM to STEAM: Using Brain-Compatible Strategies to Integrate the Arts
by David A. Sousa and Thomas J. Pilecki
Corwin, March 2013
In high school when I read The Agony and the Ecstasy by Irving Stone, Michelangelo's artistic passion moved me like no other and drew me to the arts. It is my wish that every child have the opportunity to find his or her passion in life - hopefully, through a wonderful book.
Please, if there are some new STEAM books that I have missed, add them to the comments section.

I'd love to add MY HANDS SING THE BLUES: Romare Bearden's Childhood Journey by Jeanne Walker Harvey.

Have you seen "Face Book" by Chuck Close? I think it fits this category perfectly. Close is an inspiration- an example of a man whose life was literally saved by art. And the book is based on questions/answers when a group of students visited his studio.
As a librarian and daily reader of this blog, I love the book lists! I will be sure to add these titles to my order this year as I build up my art collection. Thanks!
