Books
A Bird or Two
By Bijou Le Tord
A wonderfully evocative introduction to the work of Matisse for young children.
In the brilliant sun of Nice, Henri Matisse painted the boldest, brightest colours he could find. He painted everyone and everything. He painted all the time. "Long live painting!" he wrote to his friend Bonnard. Bijou Le Tord introduces young readers to the well-loved painter Henri Matisse. Her delightful illustrations capture the spirit and style of Matisse’s work, while her poetic words sing the music of his art.
- "This beautiful creation allows children to experience two gifted artists-Matisse and Le Tord," School Library Journal.
- Very simple text with beautiful, atmospheric illustrations make this a great learning resource.
