Pablo Picasso is a new addition to the immensely popular Little People, Big Dreams series by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara. Due out 4th Jan 2022 from Quarto on their Frances Lincoln imprint, it's 32 pages and will be available in hardcover and ebook formats.

This is another engaging little book, well written in clear accessible language. There is a surprising amount of information included here, especially considering the page count. The art by Teresa Bellon is appealing and colorful and I found myself drawn into the pictures. The illustrations are active and full of creativity and suit the subject well. There are flashes of homage throughout but they're presented in a playful and respectful way.

Well written and appealing, I am really enjoying all of these little books. This one is a worthy addition.

Five stars. This would make a superlative reading circle book, classroom library book, or gift. Picasso was a rebel and a firebrand and lived such an interesting life and the author does a wonderful job of relating the information in an age appropriate manner without being too specific or disingenuous. This would make a great starting point for deeper research for young readers and a good introduction to his works.

These are beautifully designed, lovely illustrated guides to the lives of people. As the cover suggests, images and words depict the life of Pablo Picasso. A fun and brief book to read over and over.
