The Artist by Ed Vere

The Blurb On The Back:

The world is a wonderful place.

Alive! Full of joy and beauty.

Artists try to see it all.

This young artist wants to share what she sees with the world. But what happens if she colours OUTSIDE the lines?

( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )

The Verdict:

Ed Vere’s self-illustrated picture book conveys all the joy and creativity of making art and how it doesn’t really matter if you stick within the lines or not. I enjoyed the colours and the way he conveys the excitement of sharing ideas and the artist’s horror and embarrassment at not doing it “properly”. This is one of those books that would really encourage young readers to express themselves through art, which is a great message to take away.

THE ARTIST was released in the United Kingdom on 6th April 2023. Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the review copy of this book.
