These books are a great introduction to the lives and works of famous artists. My daughters and I have enjoyed Mike Venezia's books on Frida Kahlo, Picasso, Mary Cassatt, Michelangelo, Da Vinci, Klee, and Georgia Okeefe. My daughters particularly like the cartoon characters and dialogue that supplement the text. Reading Jacob Lawrence led to a discussion about African American history and the lives of Harriet Tubman and John Brown, both subjects of Lawrence's work. There is a spelling error in this book: "heroes" is spelled "heros."
