2014. A Neal Porter Book, Roaring Brook Press
HC $17.99
56 pgs. (5 tiny short chapters, still reads as a picture book)
Goodreads rating: 405 - 1204 ratings
My rating: 5
Endpapers: pale slate
Illustrations: Lots of white, very much like
1st line/s: "Emily wants to be an artist."
My comments: An excellent picture book for kids who live in a divorced-family situation as well as a nice introduction to the artwork of Pablo Picasso. Written in five teeny, tiny short chapters and although there are 56 pages, it still reads as a picture book in one easy sitting. Lots of discussion and art projects (including collage-making) can be created after reading this....
Goodreads: Emily wants to be an artist. She likes painting and loves the way artists like Pablo Picasso mixed things up.Emily's life is a little mixed up right now. Her dad doesn't live at home anymore, and it feels like everything around her is changing.
“When Picasso was sad for a while,” says Emily, “he only painted in blue. And now I am in my blue period.”
It might last quite some time.
