Trade Review"A stylish book … a great stepping stone to non-fiction." * The Guardian Family Review *“The kind of books that adults will covet and collect as well… The language and structure is simple enough for young readers, while a biographical timeline at the end of each book offers greater historical complexity” * Irish Times *“Brilliantly accessible and inspiring” * Rhino Reads *Best children’s books for spring - "Strikingly illustrated, they’re superb first biographies for younger readers." * The Huffington Post *"A QUIRKY kids biography series" * The Voice *“One children’s books series trying to fight back… by telling the inspiring stories of women who overcame adversity and made history by pursuing their childhood dreams.” * Toronto Star *'Sumptuously illustrated hardbacks, they take the life stories of famous women in history and retell them in a child-friendly way' * Daily Mail *‘The picture book biopic of Frida Kahlo in the very successful Little People, Big Dreams series is very carefully judged. It doesn’t sugarcoat Frida's injuries or her struggles with chronic pain, nor does it indulge in triumph-over-adversity clichés, but looks at her disability as part of who she is as a woman and an artist. Frida is shown with a range of mobility aids, which is a bonus.’ -- James Catchpole * Caboodle *

  • Kawaii: How to Draw Really Cute Stuff: Draw

    Search Press Ltd Kawaii: How to Draw Really Cute Stuff: Draw

    Book SynopsisENTER PLANET CUTE!!! Kawaii: How to Draw Really Cute Stuff teaches you how to draw anything and everything – people, animals, food and everyday objects – in an adorable manner. You don't need any specialist tools or materials to start drawing cute stuff: all you need is a biro or marker pen, then you're ready to go! With artist and illustrator Angela Nguyen, start by learning the techniques of kawaii through quick and easy exercises on the basic shapes, effects and style. You can then dive right into making your kawaii characters, as the step-by-step, how-to sequences inside make drawing cute stuff really simple. A perfect book for beginners - add cute-appeal to any drawing in no time at all! Trade ReviewKawaii is Japanese for cute, and this book shows you how to draw all kinds of people, animals and objects in a cute style. Learn how to simplify your ideas and what makes something look this way and then get drawing with the simple, staged projects. It really is a lot simpler than I imagined drawing in this style; far more so than getting to grips with drawing manga characters. You only need the basics of pens, pencils and paper and reading the introduction will show you how to depict cuteness. Don’t worry, it is just a couple of pages and then it is on with the projects which are divided into people, creatures and things. The people section starts with a look at topics such as proportions, expressions, garments and accessories so you already have a mix and match repertoire to enable you to tackle drawing a person. After that the rest of the book has a page per project and shows it in various poses and moods, simplifying the drawing part by showing the subject first drawn as a series of shapes. Projects show you the cartoon shorthand of showing things like various moods, motion, humor etc as you go along as well as how to ink in and add color. Subjects include all kinds of people from police and chefs to cowboys, ninja and witches through a wide range of animals and finally cute buildings, transport, food items and plants. I was surprised how easy it was to do and it is a great way of making original and personal greetings cards to give one example. One for the keeper shelf. * myshelf.com *Kawaii in Japanese directly translates to lovable, cute or adorable and means the culture of cuteness in Japan! In Kawaii: How to Draw Really Cute Stuff, Angela Nguyen shows you how to draw cute! She starts by suggesting tools and surfaces you might like to start off trying but fully encourages you to run wild as with her techniques really anything can be used to create cute. The basic techniques for drawing cuties is introduced with some tips and tricks that can be translated into most pictures. Chapter 2 focuses on cute people. The reader is taken step by step through how to create the cutest of characters as the chapter covers expressions, poses, how to draw witches, astronauts, cowboys, ninjas and much more. Cute creatures are covered in chapter three with tips and tricks and the clearest of guidelines taking you through the process to create creatures such as unicorns, the Loch Ness monster and owls to name a few. By the end of the book you are confident that you can turn anything cute with the final part of the book covering off how to draw cute things. If you know someone with an enthusiasm for Japanese culture or just cuteness in general and let’s face it who doesn’t need some cuteness in their life, then this book is a must. -- Alex Scott * Customer Review *Though not necessarily cake-specific, kawaii is becoming more and more popular and has definitely found a place in the cake decorating market recently. In her book, Angela showcases a collection of cute people, animals and objects, offering her own techniques and advice throughout. You don’t need any special equipment to get started; you can practise with pen and paper first before moving onto different surfaces if you want, such as cakes! Angela’s step-by-step instructions and full colour illustrations are perfect for beginners looking to dabble in decorating. And not only do they look super cute, but each design is quick and easy to make. From big cakes to cookies and cupcakes, with kawaii, there's something for every occasion. * Cakes & Sugarcraft *Table of ContentsAngela's World 6 Chapter 1: Getting Started 8 Chapter 2: Cute People 16 Chapter 3: Cute Creatures 48 Chapter 4: Cute Things 98

Other title in the series is the incredibly popular Kawaii: How to Draw Really Cute Stuff Trade Review'Kawaii' is Japanese for cute, and here is the sequel to Kawaii: How To Draw Really Cute Stuff. In this book you can find out how to draw all kinds of animals in a cute manner and discover how to make your drawings look this way. You only need the minimum of drawing materials to draw anything in this book and you probably already own them. You also don’t need to be an artist as it is surprisingly simple to draw in this style; far more so than in the style associated with manga. The introduction explains quickly and simply with examples how to make your drawings look cute and appealing. The rest of the book contains the projects, which are divided into where the animals are found. There are pets and common wild animals, ones found in jungles, forest/grassland, water and on the farm. Choose from favourites like cats, dogs, penguins, owls and even dinosaurs or try a more unusual creature like a red panda, stingray, platypus or armadillo. Each animal is shown in several simple steps over two pages together with a fact about it and several poses to try. Unlike the first book this one is more of a workbook as the second page of each project has a drawing to finish and colour in yourself. This is a great way of practising and creating some scenes without having to wonder what to draw. Learn the cartoon shorthand of depicting moods, movement and more – it is surprisingly easy and fun, suitable for all ages and levels of art experience and rather addictive. It is also a great way of making original and personal greetings cards or any other decorative project and like its companion volume one for the keeper shelf. -- Rachel Hyde * myshelf.com *Table of ContentsEnter Planet Cute (Introduction) Chapter One: Getting Started Chapter Two: Close to Home - Learn to draw animals that we encounter every day in our immediate surroundings and homes Chapter Three: On the Farm - Get introduced to a whole barnyard of cute critters!

Reynolds' multiple award-winning modern classic.In this inspiring, award-winning story of self-expression and creativity from Peter H.

Reynolds encourages even the stubbornly uncreative among us to make a mark – and follow where it takes us.Trade ReviewA real can-do book...Feisty drawings make this book enjoyable to look at and empowering to cynical little souls who just can't do stuff, and don't care either. * The Guardian *...the quirky little story reminds children (and their parents) that whatever it is you can do, you should just get on and do it. * The Observer *
