This board book version of Georgia O'Keeffe - from the critically
acclaimed Little People, BIG DREAMS series - introduces the
youngest dreamers to this great artist who broke boundaries. As a
child, little Georgia viewed the world differently from other
people. She roamed outdoors with her sketch book, while other girls
played. As an adult, she painted all day. From New York City to New
Mexico, she was influenced by the landscapes of her environment. As
her paintings became more popular, she became one of the most
succesful artists of her generation, and an inspiring role model
for young girls everywhere who wanted to express themselves
creatively. Babies and toddlers will love to snuggle as you read to
them the engaging story of this talented painter, and will also
enjoy exploring the stylish and quirky illustrations of this sturdy
board book on their own. Little People, BIG DREAMS is a bestselling
series of books and educational games that explore the lives of
outstanding people, from designers and artists to scientists and
activists. All of them achieved incredible things, yet each began
life as a child with a dream. This empowering series offers
inspiring messages to children of all ages, in a range of formats.
The board books are told in simple sentences, perfect for reading
aloud to babies and toddlers. The hardback versions present
expanded stories for beginning readers. Boxed gift sets allow you
to collect a selection of the books by theme. Paper dolls, learning
cards, matching games and other fun learning tools provide even
more ways to make the lives of these role models accessible to
children. Inspire the next generation of outstanding people who
will change the world with Little People, BIG DREAMS!

Paul Klee defined himself as a " painter poet" , and his art
perfectly reflects that phrase. He was interested in colour, and
formed friendships with other artists also exploring colour, such
as Kandinsky, Picasso and Braque. His experimentation with
backgrounds, shapes, colour, sign and pictograms, as well as with
light and colour, are all portrayed in his work. This book contains
six of his most famous paintings and, with over 75 large-sized
stickers, it allows both children and adults to experiment
themselves, placing the re-usable stickers on different paintings
to see how small - and large - changes, completely change a work of
art. Sylvie Delpech studied history of art and worked in imaging
technology for television, before returning to Paris, where she
works in photography and on children' s books.
