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!
Sumptuously illustrated with eighty maps from the British Library's
unrivalled collection, this gorgeous children's book whisks its
reader around the globe. Like that of Jules Verne's famous hero,
the journey begins and ends in London, plotting an eastwards route
with stop-offs at some of the world's most fascinating places.
There are extraordinary details to pore over, as well as stories
about how and why these maps were made, and by whom. Fascinating
snippets explore each place in more depth, revealing its history,
famous people, landmarks, wildlife, culture or customs. Helpful
fact files provide at-a-glance information to broaden geographical
knowledge.
