READ THIS: ART FOR HEART: REMEMBERING 9/11 Foreword by Christy Ferer Introduction by Alice M. Greenwald

Everyone knows what this weekend commemorates and we will remember it, and how could anyone forget, but we don't want to dwell on it. With credible threats in the news this weekend, September 11th is in the air everywhere, so to speak. Peachy mentioned it briefly yesterday in our heavenly Caravaggio update: http://www.assouline.com/9781614280323.html, and today we are pleased to kick off our coverage of Assouline, not only because they live at The Plaza like our friend Eloise, but also because they did a great commemorative production in a book: Art for Heart. This artwork is touching and presents the unique perspective of children affected by 9/11. Nolan, a child quoted in the book, was in school during 9/11 and became a firefighter; here is the story of the man in the red bandana which is absolutely worth watching as much as Art For Heart is worth reading:http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=6929979 Whom You Know will be keeping in our prayers all affected by 9/11 this weekend, and we recommend you read Art For Heart and look at 9/11 through the eyes of children.

***

All of us were affected by the events of September 11th, but it was the youngest generation who
was affected most of all. The innocence so profoundly disrupted that day is nowhere better demonstrated than in the drawings created shortly after the attacks by thousands of children. In their straightforward depictions, these works, both heartbreaking and heartwarming are testaments to the human instinct to bear witness, provide comfort, and attempt to make sense out of the unthinkable.

Commemorating the 10th anniversary of September 11th, Assouline is honored to present a collection of these drawings in Art for Heart: Remembering 9/11. This exquisite tome includes selections of artwork and messages from the New York University Child Study Center, the Art for Heart Program of the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation and Dear Hero and Notes of Hope collections, which have been acquired by the National September 11 Memorial & Museum.

The book's proceeds are graciously provided to the National September 11 Memorial & Museum,
a not-for-profit corporation created to oversee design, raise funds, and operate the Memorial
& Museum at the World Trade Center site. The Memorial, designed by Michael Arad and Peter
Walker, will remember and honor the thousands of people who died in the attacks of September
11, 2001 and February 26, 1993. For more information on the National September 11 Memorial & Museum: http://www.911memorial.org.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
