Henri's Scissors by Jeanette Winter

Henri's Scissors by Jeanette Winter

Step into the colorful world of Henri Matisse and his magnificent paper cutouts in this biography by acclaimed picture book creator Jeanette Winter.

In a small weaving town in France, a young boy named Henri-Emile Matisse drew pictures everywhere, and when he grew up, he moved to Paris and became a famous artist who created paintings that were adored around the world. But late in life a serious illness confined him to a wheelchair, and amazingly, it was from there that he created among his most beloved works--enormous and breathtaking paper cutouts.

Based on the life of Henri Matisse, this moving and inspirational picture book biography includes a note from the author, dynamic quotes from Matisse himself, and an illuminating look at a little-known part of a great artist's creative process.

JEANETTE WINTER has authored and illustrated several children's books, including Diego, which was written by her son Jonah and was named a Best Illustrated Book of the Year by the New York Times Book Review. Winter spends her time in both New York and Texas.
