Description

What's the point of art? This is the question Henri asks himself when his class is taken on a school trip to the local art gallery. Who wants pictures of old soup cans or melting watches? But when he encounters a painting with the most perfect blue, it creates a beautiful feeling. It's blueberries, oceans, summer skies, and butterflies all rolled into one.

And then he wanders into a room with a chair and a sign that reads "Is this really a chair?" Henri decides to test it out, unleashing an explosion of creativity! Finally, Henri understands what art is all about...

Following Isabelle Marinov's successful Leo and the Octopus, this is a fun and encouraging story of a boy learning to appreciate art and its boundless creativity.

About the Author

Isabelle Marinov was nine years old when her parents gave her a red typewriter for her birthday. She started crafting stories in German and Luxembourgish, her native language, straight away, but it wasn't until her first son was born that she returned to writing full time. Isabelle writes across several genres, writing picture books such as the acclaimed Leo and the Octopus (Templar Books, 2020), as well as middle grade and screenplays. She speaks four languages fluently, but English is her favourite for prose. She is a member of the SCBWI and a 2017/18 Children's Literature Fellow at Stony Brook University in Southampton, NY.

Olga Shtonda is an award-winning illustrator from Kharkiv, Ukraine, who loves to combine different graphic techniques with printmaking, ink, pencils, collages and digital. Right now, she's in Mexico visiting a friend. She went there two weeks before Russia invaded her country. She's wondering if she'll ever be able to go home.
