Hugely entertaining and informative – a unique art history lesson given by internationally acclaimed children’s book illustrator.
Willy’s pictures look like great works of art, but not quite … for Willy has added himself and his friends to famous paintings by Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Vermeer, Manet and many more. Delight in his dazzling portfolio then open the fold-out pages to see the original pictures and learn about the artists who painted them. As Willy knows, every picture tells a story…
