The Artist Summary

The Artist by Ed Vere

From the award-winning Ed Vere comes a joyful and inspirational celebration of beauty, mistakes and the artist in all of us

One brave little artist goes on one epic adventure to share her art, and in doing so learns that it doesn't matter if you colour outside the lines, that art is full of heart... and that maybe you are an artist too!

What is an artist?

Someone who sees beauty... Someone with a mind full of colours, feelings, and ideas... Someone who plays and dreams and makes...

Praise for How to be a Lion - winner of the Oscar's Book Prize
This witty, resonant picture book is a manual for anyone's life, young or old. Sunday Times Children's Book of the Week

Positive role models showing boys how to be a whole person are few and far between these days. This marvelous book triumphs in that essential job. Kirkus

gently reminiscent of Winnie the Pooh BookTrust

Framed by a glowing palette of burnt yellows and oranges, and infused with humour and warmth, this thought provoking fable celebrates courage, individuality and the power of words. The Bookseller

The Artist Reviews

Writer-illustrator Ed Vere returns with another beautifully illustrated children's book, celebrating what it means to be an artist ... an uplifting story for any child who loves to draw. * The Independent *
Colorful, boldly imaginative, dynamic, quirky, and wonderfully child-appealing illustrations. . . . This book proclaims what children already know: Creativity and making art spark joy * Kirkus Reviews starred review *
Realizing that making mistakes is part of the process could be a game-changer for the many kids who can't conquer their discouragement when their art falls short of their expectations * Booklist *
Even if readers don't need encouragement to unleash their own talents, they should be intrigued by this protagonist's arc toward artistic assurance * Publishers Weekly *
This book is perfect to read with children who have started drawing but sometimes feel disheartened when their drawing doesn't turn out exactly as they see it in their heads ... a stunningly beautiful book with a message for young and old - and it makes readers look anew and refreshed at the world. Ed Vere is one of the most talented children's books creators of our time and takes the care to make every word and every mark mean something, in or out of the lines * Booktrust *
