Artist to Artist: 23 Major Illustrators Talk to Children about Their Art
Twenty-three children’s book illustrators provided biographical commentaries for this volume that also includes a self-portrait from each artist, photographs of them in their studios, and selected images from their work. It is intriguing the see the illustrators’ visual representation of themselves in the portraits, while the brief biographical sketches illuminate pieces of their childhood and their development as artists. Many of the selected images include pictures they did in childhood or adolescence, as well as work from some of the picture books they illustrated. A selected bibliography for each individual is included in a book that will be especially appealing to young artists. ©2007 Cooperative Children's Book Center
