Miffy and the Artists celebrates 70 years of Miffy, its Dutch creator Dick Bruna, and 24 famous artists that influenced Bruna’s craft. Miffy, one of the most recognisable children’s book characters in the world, was first published in 1955 and now boasts over 120 books.
This 64-page picture book has been created for children aged 2-6 years, and older children who have grown up enjoying the Miffy series. This nonfiction book introduces its young audience to a range of famous artists including Henri Matisse, Johannes Vermeer, Pablo Picasso, Frida Kahlo, and Andy Warhol, among many others. It describes the connections between Bruna’s artwork and that of other famous artists who influenced Bruna as he grew as an artist himself.
The end of the book includes a ‘Meet Dick Bruna’ section and a ‘Meet the Artists’ section that provides more in-depth details about the artists and the work portrayed in the book. Miffy and the Artists is a great book for budding young artists who may be inspired to start creating their own characters and artworks.
