Review
Illustration are relief prints. I liked the way the story starts," If you were a boy named Henri Matisse." The biography shows Henri experimenting with color. The back page includes an author's note with a quote from Matisse" My mother loved everything I did."
Not part of a series, but could be the start.
Overall Book Score: very good
