Jane Golden could not have known that the Mural Arts Program (MAP) would become the nation's largest public art program and a model for programs throughout the country. With more than 2600 murals throughout Philadelphia, the program has brightened the lives of countless residents and tourists while providing a creative outlet for an astounding array of artists. MAP now works with more than 3000 students around the city, engaging them in a curriculum that teaches not only artistic skills but civic engagement and personal responsibility. <p><i>More Philadelphia Murals and the Stories They Tell</i>, a sequel to the bestselling <i><a href="1601_reg.html" target="_top">Philadelphia Murals and the Stories They Tell</a></i>, shares with the earlier work its beautiful color photography, along with profiles of the artists. Featured here is the remarkable story of an unlikely artistic collaborationbetween boys who live in a residential facility, a community in the Kensington section of Philadelphia, and men who are incarcerated in a maximum-security state correctional facility. The 1/8 of a mile long mural they created, about balanced and restorative justice, was intended to help the young men give something back to a community they had harmed and help the community wrestle with issues around crime and violence. In the process of creating the mural, it became a life-changing experience for all involved. By recounting this story and the many others behind the works of art, <i>More Philadelphia Murals and the Stories They Tell</i> is as inspirational as it is beautiful. <BR> <h2>Reviews</h2> <p><i>"As with the original, 2002 </i>Philadelphia Murals<i> book, this sequel provides insights into how the murals are created and their inspirations. Not only will </i>More Philadelphia Murals<i> elegantly adorn your coffee table, it could provide the springboard to energize a young artist."</i> <br><b><i>Metrokids</i></b> <BR> <H2>About the Author(s)</H2> <table><tr><td valign="top"><img src="/tempress/authors/1863_au1.gif" height="90" width="75"></td><td width="100%" valign="middle"><p><b>Jane Golden</b> is Executive Director of the Philadelphia Mural Arts Program, the largest program of its kind in the United States.
