What's the point of art?This is the question Henri asks himself when his class is taken on a school trip to the local art gallery. Who wants pictures of old soup cans or melting watches? But when he encounters a painting with the most perfect blue, it creates a beautiful feeling. It's blueberries, oceans, summer skies and butterflies all rolled into one. And then he wanders into a room with a chair and a sign that reads "Is this really a chair?" Henri decides to test it out, unleashing an explosion of creativity! Finally Henri understands what art is all about...Following Isabelle Marinov's successful Leo and the Octopus, this is a fun and encouraging story of a boy learning to appreciate art and its boundless creativity.

Isabelle Marinov (Author) When Isabelle Marinov was nine years old, her parents gave her a red typewriter for her birthday. She started crafting stories in German and Luxembourgish, her native language, straight away, but it wasn't until her first son was born that she returned to writing full time. Isabelle writes across several genres, writing picture books, middle grade and screenplays. She speaks four languages fluently, but English is her favourite for prose. She is a member of the SCBWI and a 2017/18 Children's Literature Fellow at Stony Brook University in Southampton, NY.Olga Shtonda (Illustrator) Olga Shtonda is an award-winning illustrator from Ukraine. She studied Graphic Arts at Kharkiv Design and Arts Academy (2009-2015), where she fell in love with printmaking techniques and textures, which greatly influenced her style. She has illustrated children's books, book covers, board games, music posters and more. Olga enjoys working with textures and vibrant colours, but most of all, she appreciates humour in her illustrations. She loves to experiment and apply her knowledge of illustration in a wider range of fields, for example, animation.
