Neat! I was familiar with about half of the artists featured here, but all of their stories were interesting and made me want to learn more. The stories talk about their younger lives and how they got to be artists instead of focusing on their adult years. The little illustrations are cool too.

My students absolutely loved Kid Presidents. I was excited to read about artists. This book definitely continued the level of excellence I expected.

'Kid Artists' by David Stabler with illustrations by Doogie Horner tells the story of many famous artists and events that happened when they were growing up.

In some cases, it tells how nature inspired them, like Emily Carr and Georgia O'Keeffe. Sometimes it was a rough life, like being shy like Charles Schulz, or a family losing it's fortune, like Yoko Ono. There are also stories about Pablo Picasso, Frida Kahlo and others.

The stories include illustrations which are mostly humorous. These don't lessen the tragedy of some of the stories, but they help to show the young artists at work and play. It's a well represented group of artists and it reads very well for a book for younger readers.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Quirk Books and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

This was a really fun and informative book, the detail was just the right amount to keep you interested and there were quite a few good sources listed too for any aspiring artists out there - 4 stars from me
