Combining a Picasso book with another on our site does NOT meet the 2 book minimum, because they come from 2 different locations.

If Picasso Had a Christmas Tree: An illustrated introduction to art history for children by art teachers.
30 art teachers have put this delightful book together, pairing emulations of master works with poems written in rhyme by project leader and author, Eric Gibbons. Though written for children, we suspect this books will be treasured by artists, students, and teachers of all ages. With movements representing the Renaissance through Pop Art and everything in between, we see the theme of a Christmas tree visually translated with delightful illustrations that include paintings, drawings, and sculpture. Young readers will get a glimpse into the rich tapestry of art history without any pretension with a balance of both male and female artists represented. Available outside the USA via Amazon!

REVIEW: 23rd Annual Writer’s Digest Self-Published Book Awards:
"Absolutely stunning artwork all the way through, created very professionally with perfect tones and resolution. Author recognized the importance of top-quality production for this project and delivered a stunning collection of detailed and nuanced artwork.
The organization is brilliant, blending together the best-known artists with lesser-known artists, for a wonderful exploration of art forms and styles, creating an "it gets better and better page-by-page" experience with this book. Spectacularly planned, and the pacing is superb.
The rhyme is perfection on every page, offering language choices that engage young readers and old, such as "slap-dashy lines" within the narrative, phrases that are fun to say and that the reader goes back over again to enjoy each one once more. They’re brilliant morsels of description, layered with the delightful cadence of the text. The similes are terrific, and the rhyming never seems forced at all, a true feat in a rhyming book. The author obviously spent a lot of time on this project, and all efforts show through here.
A fully unique and stunning book, in concept, in text, image and in edit, clean and educational in the presentation and explanation of the different kinds of mixed media and art methods. This is a true gem in introducing kids to art and artists, with the unifying theme of Christmas tree depiction. Stunning and superb in every way.
A joy to read, and leaves the reader wanting more. Well done."
