The Fantastic Jungles of Henri Rousseau

內容簡介

內容簡介 "The career of artist Henri Rousseau gets a wonderfully child-friendly treatment in a book that captures both his personality and the essence of his pictures." - Booklist (STARRED REVIEW) "Strikes just the right tone...jaunty, confiding, and affectionate." - Publishers Weekly (STARRED REVIEW) A whimsical, inspiring picture book biography of the legendary 19th-century artist Henri Rousseau. Henri Rousseau wants to be an artist. Not a single person has ever told him he is talented. He's a toll collector. He's forty years old. But he buys some canvas, paint, and brushes, and starts painting anyway. Vivid text from award-winning author Michelle Markel (Tomfoolery), coupled with fanciful, inspired art from illustrator Amanda Hall (How the Sea Came to Be), paint a portrait of a man who dreams, creates, and perseveres, despite harsh criticism, leading to an unlikely and brilliant success with paintings hanging in the world's most important museums. Includes author's and illustrator's notes.A Junior Library Guild selection.
