Small Stories of Great Artists<\/em>
\nby Laurence Anholt (Author \/ Illustrator)
\n@ Amazon<\/a> | Bookshop<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Booktalk:<\/strong> It\u2019s been thirty years since Laurence Anholt began his beloved series about great artists and the real children who knew them. This anniversary edition includes dozens of high-quality reproductions of the artists\u2019 work, child-friendly biographies of the artists, and interactive questions for young readers. Each story is closely based on historical events and extensive research. In many cases, Anholt visited the artists\u2019 homes and studios, walking in their footsteps and interviewing their relatives. He was granted private access to Monet\u2019s house in Giverny and became close friends with Sylvette David (now Lydia Corbett), Picasso\u2019s famous Girl with a Ponytail. This volume features the following artists and their stories: Van Gogh and the Sunflowers, Frida Kahlo and the Bravest Girl in the World, C\u00e9zanne and the Apple Boy, Picasso and the Girl with a Ponytail, The Magical Garden of Claude Monet, Tell Us a Story, Papa Chagall, Degas and the Little Dancer, Leonardo and the Flying Boy. <\/p>\n
