Librarianjk recommends Picasso and the Girl with a Ponytail: A Story about Pablo Picasso



Picasso and the Girl with a Ponytail : A Story about Pablo Picasso
by Laurence Anholt

Summary: Sylvette gradually begins to gain self-confidence during the summer. She models for the renowned artist Pablo Picasso in the French village of Vallauris.

This is a wonderful historical fiction book. When read with a child, do not forget the end note about the truth in the story! I always loved these as a child, and I am sure others do too!(period) I also love the photograph next to the note of the real Sylvette and Picasso.
