From New York Times-bestelling illustrator, Derek Desierto, here is nn inspiring, exquisitely illustrated picture book biography of Henri Matisse, who overcame hardship to create masterpieces.
"A lovely homage."
Henri Matisse loved color. He dreamed of being an artist. Even after his father pushed him to study for a "serious" job, Henri followed his heart and went to art school. Color was all around him! After a grueling illness, Henri had to reinvent the way he made art. And what he created became even more magical. His story is brought to life by bestselling artist Derek Desierto, who continues to be inspired by Matisse's work, and now shares that magic with young readers.
