Welcome to Litsy!

After receiving this book several months ago, I finally read it (just to get it off my coffee table)! How beautiful it was! The words matched the poetry of the illustrations. I'm simply enchanted.

#BookMail! My father has the best clients. One found out I do fiber art and gave him these two books for me. Amazing! I can't wait to read Cloth Lullaby. The other (which will be a feast!) is still in the plastic! What the what?! Time to write a thank you note!

Beautiful.

Weaving was her way to make things whole.

This is a stunningly illustrated story of artist and sculptor Louise Bourgeois. Her art work isn‘t my cup of tea (think giant spider sculptures 🕷), but it this story shows what a fascinating, insightful person she was. I‘ll add some more lovely illustrations from this gorgeous book.

Because the book deals with some very adult issues (i.e. suicide attempts), I think it would be best for teenagers and up.

Beautiful picture book about the life of a French artist.

I knew nothing of the life or works of Louise Bourgeois. Now I am fascinated by her. This book has earned a place in the shelf where I keep picture books that whet my students' appetites for research papers.

But she was deeply disappointed to learn that math, like life, is uncertain.

There are days when being a librarian is wonderful. This is one of those days. This beautiful picture book was in the new arrivals today. Louise Bourgeois is one of the most important woman artist of the 20th century. This beautifully done picture book tells her life's story. Where everything began and where everything came from.
Her huge metal spiders frighten people when they should reconfort. The illustrations are amazing. 👍👍👍

This is one of the most beautiful illustrated children's biographies I have ever seen. With a deep poppy red and a rich royal blue making swirling around, I had to spend time staring at each page to soak it all in. This covers the life of Louise Bourgeois who was a world-renowned artist, known for her cloth sculptures.
