Pablo Picasso is a new addition to the immensely popular Little People, Big Dreams series by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara. Due out 4th Jan 2022 from Quarto on their Frances Lincoln imprint, it's 32 pages and will be available in hardcover and ebook formats.
This is another engaging little book, well written in clear accessible language. There is a surprising amount of information included here compared to the page count. The art by Teresa Bellon
is appealing and colorful and I found myself drawn into the pictures. The
illustrations are active and full of creativity and suit the subject well. There are flashes of homage throughout but they're presented in a playful and respectful way.
Well written and appealing, I am really enjoying all of these little books. This one is a worthy addition.
Five stars. This would make a superlative reading circle book, classroom
library book, or gift. Picasso was a rebel and a firebrand and lived such an interesting life and
the author does a wonderful job of relating the information in an age
appropriate manner without being too specific or disingenuous. This would make a
great starting
point for deeper research for young readers and a good introduction to
his works.
