Art text:
Children love pets and people irrationally. They’re always making forts and nests. They love cartoon movies and chocolate and snow. They need loads of love and care but don’t care at all what anyone thinks of them. They’re all totally charming. They give their money away to poor people and the offering, or they buy crazy fun things they like. Their favorite colors are crucial and they are very, very smart. They make up songs a lot, and tell nonsense jokes. They love to watch things grow. They cry easily and laugh even more easily. They take naps and go for walks. They make mud pies. They tell the truth.
