Description
In this book from the critically acclaimed, multimillion-copy best-selling Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the life of Louise Bourgeois, the inspiring French-American sculptor and installation artist.
When Louise 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 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.

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!

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.
