More great reads: the best books for 7 year olds
"A springboard into a lifetime love of art"
It's been thirty years since Laurence Anholt began his beloved series about great artists and the real children who knew them. Since then, these classic tales of Vincent van Gogh, Frida Kahlo, Pablo Picasso, Leonardo da Vinci, and many other geniuses of Western art have provided a springboard into a lifetime's love of art, selling millions of copies around the world.
The stories have been adapted in many forms including ballet, opera, Braille editions for blind and partially sighted children, and a full-scale stage musical in Korea.
Perhaps it is Anholt's gentle storytelling or his handcrafted illustrations. Perhaps it is his love for children and passion for his subject. One way or another, a whole generation of readers have found a lifelong love of art through his stories. And now they are passing that precious gift to their own children. The gift of art is golden.
Alongside Anholt's dazzling watercolor illustrations, this anniversary edition includes dozens of high-quality reproductions of the artists' work, child-friendly biographies of the artists, and interactive questions for young readers. Each story is closely based on historical events and extensive research.
