Fantastic Jungles of Henri Rousseau by Michelle Markel

Fantastic Jungles of Henri Rousseau by Michelle Markel

Henri Rousseau wanted to be an artist. But he had no formal training. Instead, he taught himself to paint. He painted until the jungles and animals and distant lands in his head came alive on the space of his canvases.

Henri Rousseau endured the harsh critics of his day and created the brilliant paintings that now hang in museums around the world. Michelle Markel's vivid text, complemented by the vibrant illustrations of Amanda Hall, artfully introduces young readers to the beloved painter and encourages all readers to persevere despite all odds.

Was it because she was born in Los Angeles' fantasy factory, where enormous doughnuts and fairy tale cottages abound? She's created and published a wide range of picture books, from alphabet to fiction to biography.
