One of the best art books I've read. Yes this is targeted towards children, but any one who is an artist(in reality or at heart) would be impacted and inspired by reading this book.
I think this book is more helpful to the aspiring artist than any instructional art book on technique or style. There are so many accepted myths surrounding art that continue to stifle and stagnate the flow in our society. Books like this do their part by helping to undo the detrimental ideas such as "talent" and "standards" where art is concerned.

LOVE this book! Reading all the artists' stories was really amazing. You learn about what inspired them and they give you encouraging advice. The artwork is stunning! This book is perfect for anyone who loves art and who loves knowing the background of artists. It was just really cool to see all these artists you see on books all the time in one place and to see what they started out drawing.

This provides a nice overview of popular children's books illustrators. I already knew some of them, of course, but I learned about a few more that I'm looking forward to checking out. Most importantly, though, I learned that there is an Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art in Amherst, MA, which I will definitely add to my to-do list for my wishful vacation to New England this year.
