Description
Celebrate the life-changing power of art in this inspiring picture book biography of American artist Alma Thomas. Alma Thomas was a trailblazing artist who broke down barriers throughout her life, and her story is now known as one of the most remarkable of the twentieth century. As a child, Alma spent time outside, soaking up the colors around her, and her parents filled their home with color and creativity despite the racial injustices they faced. Later, she shared her passion for art by teaching children, and it wasn't until she was almost seventy years old that she focused on her own artwork, inspired by nature and space travel. Alma's bold and vibrant abstract paintings set the world ablaze with color, and her story is a testament to the power of imagination and creativity. This book includes extensive back matter with photos, an author's and illustrator's note, a timeline, and a list of sources and resources, making it a valuable tool for parents, educators, and librarians.
