Another great addition to the series! My cubs love these books and often want to learn more about the people discussed. Perfect for any child's library and for classroom use!

Louise Bourgeois by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara is another release in the Little People, Big Dreams series, which I have reviewed frequently on here. I just love these little books. They are always packed with facts about the person who they are writing about and full of colourful illustrations throughout.

This book is about Louise Bourgeois was a little girl, her mother died. She learned to express her feelings through drawing—and when she grew up, she turned these drawings into sculpture, confronting her own fears through art. This moving book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the artist's life.

I found this little book full of easy to read, with great Illustrations throughout this small book.
It's one you should definitely buy for your little readers so they can learn about this wonderful artist.

I am so glad these books are being published and I highly recommend all of these books

Thank you for the chance of viewing this one.it was very inspiring. 
Also a reminder that no matter your age it's never too late to continue achieving your goals.

'To be an artist, you need to exist in a world of silence.'

You are born on a beautiful, snowy Christmas day. You are a wonderful child, bright and curious and loving, but your father prefers sons. Your refuge -and the refuge of every one of us- is your mother. Your beloved mother who wants you to help her finish parts of her beautiful tapestries. It is here where you realize that Art is full of endless possibilities. It is here where you know that colours, textures, material are on the ready for you. Waiting.

And then, tragedy strikes. You have lost your support, the one you loved the most. You are desperately angry, and your escape is painting, giving an image to your fears so that they stop haunting you. Your father ignores your existence. It doesn’t matter. Your mother has taught you to be strong. Nothing can beat you. You are determined to answer the call of your extraordinary gift. Fernand Léger, whose unique form of Cubism left its mark on Modern Art, believes in you. And you focus on sculpture. And the world is here.

New York. The Big Apple becomes a unique source of inspiration. The skyscrapers, the towers made of steel began their siren’s song. Your work depicts a strange, beautiful darkness. The loss, the fears, the nightmares. You shock and disturb and magnetize. You create a means to give voice to our primal terrors, to the feeling of entrapment and disorientation. Your spiders weave a web around us, protecting and terrifying us. You are unique. You paved the way for female artists to express themselves in ways deemed ‘’unconventional’’ by the society with its tiny brains and closed hearts.

Your name? Louise Bourgeois


“My knives are like a tongue - I love, I do not love, I hate. If you don’t love me, I am ready to attack. I am a double-edged knife.”

I absolutely love this series of children's books by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara, and this book is such a beautiful new edition for young people to learn about the legendary sculptor, Louise Bourgeois.

I can't wait for new books in this series and I'm so grateful to get to read these!

I hadn’t heard of Louise Bourgeois before reading but as I love this book series, I knew she would be inspirational. I certainly wasn’t wrong! My daughter and I were fascinated learning about how Louise’s grief influenced her artwork and led to her making such an impression in the art world. A must read - very interesting.

Louise Bourgeois by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara.

This is my third book from the series "Little People Big Dreams". Like all other, in the series, this is also a graphical biography. It narrates the story of French-American artist Louise Joséphine Bourgeois best known for her large-scale sculpture. The illustrations are very nice and good to go with the story. 

Thanks to Netgalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Frances Lincoln Children's Books for this e-ARC

A superb book about an absolutely fascinating woman, I only knew a tiny bit about her and this book has inspired me to go off and look her up and find out more about her life!
As an adult I really enjoyed the book - the images are brilliant and I loved learning about her life.
I wish all biographies were this fun and interesting - great facts!

A beautiful book for children.
We loved to read it.
The Illustrations are very nice and beautiful.

An intriguing insight into Louise Bourgeois's childhood and what inspired her art! Her spider sculptures, whilst unsettling, are a fantastic metaphor for sad feelings and difficult times.

A beautifully illustrated story for children about a lesser known female pioneer of the art world. This book has beautifully colourful illustrations. This is the perfect gift for a little person or art fan in your life.
