Here's another delightful picture book biography. It gives you a feel for what the artist has done and makes you want to know more. The story is told on a level that will intrigue both children and adults. I especially enjoy the playful illustrations.

Tanya Lee Stone and Boris Kulikov beautifully capture the inventive, experimental quality of Sandy Calder's art. They show how he playfully created a moving, working circus out of wire. His art was more than a static display to look at. It was a show where things happened.

The author tells us that "even the mobiles that hang over baby cribs would not exist without Calder." This is the story of a man who brought a sense of play into his life's work.
