Children’s history books make perfect gifts.

This charming illustrated series considers what inspired famous artists, and encourages creativity. In this book, young readers can get to know Edgar Degas (French, Paris 1834–1917 Paris), who so skillfully recorded his impressions of modern life. From dancers in the studio and on stage to scenes of men and women in shops and cafes, Degas was a wonderfully experimental artist who captured fleeting moments of life in a bygone era.
