In this book from the critically acclaimed, multimillion-copy
bestselling Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the life of
Andy Warhol, the ground-breaking pop artist. Little Andy was the
tiniest and palest child of the Warholas, a humble couple from
Slovakia who lived in Pittsburgh. Sketchbook glued to his hand, he
loved every minute of drawing, but he was too shy to show his work
to others, even to his family! As an adult he got a chance to
publish his first illustration for a glamorous magazine. He turned
his attention to the ordinary, like soup cans he ate from for lunch
every day. He showed the world that the ordinary objects could POP,
and founded a cultural movement, becoming one of the most famous
artists of the 20th Century. This moving book features stylish and
quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a
biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile
of the inspiring artist's life. Little People, BIG DREAMS is a
