Katie Meets the Impressionists by James Mayhew

Katie Meets the Impressionists by James Mayhew

Imagine a medical treatment that can decrease heart disease, boost immune function, relieve depression, and block pain-whose only side effect is that it makes you feel good. It's safe, inexpensive, and readily available, No, it's not a miracle drug; rather, these benefits come from the experience of pleasure itself. And this pleasure prescription is filled in the internal pharmacy of the brain. Psychologist Robert Ornstein and physician David Sobel deliver the latest scientific evidence that pleasures-from saunas to siestas, chocolate to charity-and positive attitudes-from happiness to optimism-are not only enjoyable but also good for you.

James Mayhew studied at Maidstone College of Art and his first children's book, Katie's Picture Show was published in 1989. It's been firmly in print ever since, recognised universally as the original and best introduction to art for children. Many more titles have followed, and the series sells in museums and galleries all over the world, from the Met in New York, to the Uffizi in Florence, the Louvre in Paris and beyond. He is also the creator of the much-loved Ella Bella Ballerina series, and many other titles. Alongside his work in publishing, James has devised and performed in a hugely successful series of concerts for children, combining live classical music, storytelling and live art. From Peter and the Wolf, to Scheherazade, James has worked internationally with many different orchestras and musicians, creating illustrations in time to music. James grew up in Suffolk but now lives in Hertfordshire.
