An intelligent and quirky illustrated biography book about one of the most important artists of contemporary art, Louise Bourgeois. She was a world-renowned artist who narrated the stories of her life through her art until the age of 98. She created works inspired by her experiences, often using everyday objects that reminded her of her family and past. Her famous giant spiders continue to enchant—and sometimes scare—art lovers, but the truth behind the inspiration for these imposing sculptures is not as frightening as it seems. This is an inspiring story about a girl who became the first female sculptor to have a solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York—a unique illustrated celebration for children, dedicated to one of the most important women artists of our contemporary era.
