Reviews
"In each of these small format picture books (8” square), young readers will meet famous artists who speak to them using the first person voice. The books are designed to facilitate conversations between an adult and child, asking many open-ended questions that mimic the Visual Thinking Strategy approach. Eschewing a conventional picture book approach (in which we learn about the artist as a child or their creative journey), the books jumpstart with a focus on an image. Van Gogh opens with a close up on the moon in the corner of Starry Night before pulling back to the entire painting on the following page and asking us to trace the painter’s twisty, curving lines with our fingers." - Youth Services Book Review
