The Iridescence of Birds
By Patricia MacLachlan, illustrated by Hadley Hooper, Roaring Brook Press, October 2014
Could an essential, spirited picture book capture the brightness of a childhood that inspired a lifetime of genius? In two long, lyrical sentences, MacLachlan wonders about the early years of Henri Matisse, who grew up in a cold, gray city in northern France and was warmed by the colors of the paints, fabrics, and birds that surrounded him.-Booklist
