The Artist

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A fable celebrating ingenuity, teamwork, and asking for help from the New York Times-bestselling author of Max the Brave and How to Be a Lion.

From the award-winning Ed Vere comes a joyful and inspirational celebration of beauty, mistakes and the artist in all of us.

The Artist’s optimistic ending, in particular, makes it perfect for bedtime reading and bedtime dreaming for little artists. It’s a useful reminder for grown-up artists too.

One brave little artist goes on one epic adventure to share her art, and in doing so learns that it doesn’t matter if you colour outside the lines, that art is full of heart... and that maybe you are an artist too!

What is an artist?

Someone who sees beauty... Someone with a mind full of colours, feelings, and ideas... Someone who plays and dreams and makes...

Praise for How to be a Lion - winner of the Oscar's Book Prize:

"Positive role models showing boys how to be a whole person are few and far between these days. This marvelous book triumphs in that essential job." - Kirkus
