Andy Warhol by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara

Andy Warhol by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara

**The multimillion-copy bestselling Little People, BIG DREAMS series** 

Discover the life of Andy Warhol, the ground-breaking pop artist, told in an inspiring biography for kids! 

Little Andy was the tiniest and palest child of the Warholas, a humble family from Slovakia who lived in Pittsburgh. He loved drawing and always had a sketchbook in hand but was too shy to show his work to others.

As an adult he got a chance to publish his first illustration for a glamorous magazine. He turned his attention to the ordinary, like soup cans he ate from for lunch every day. He showed the world that the ordinary objects could POP, and founded a cultural movement, becoming one of the most famous artists of the twentieth century.

This 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.

Little People, BIG DREAMS is a bestselling biography series for kids that explores the lives of outstanding people, from designers and artists to scientists and activists. All of them achieved incredible things, yet each began life as a child with a dream.

This empowering series of books offers inspiring messages to children of all ages, in a range of formats. The board books are told in simple sentences, perfect for reading aloud to babies and toddlers. The hardback and paperback versions present expanded stories for beginning readers. With rewritten text for older children, the treasuries each bring together a multitude of dreamers in a single volume. You can also collect a selection of the books by theme in boxed gift sets. Activity books and a journal provide even more ways to make the lives of these role models accessible to children.
