Women Artists A to Z

In this alphabetical introduction to women artists from around the world, each letter does not stand for the name of the artist but, more creatively, for an artist’s typical subject matter, medium, or technique . . . This picture book is a worthy purchase for its diversity, from the artists themselves to their inspirations, media, and messages.

Angela Leeper, Booklist

Each artist and her or their work is introduced on a double-page spread that features succinct descriptions conveying much admiring, easily comprehensible information . . . A solid introduction to fascinating artists, some familiar, others less so.

Kirkus Reviews

This adorable book by Melaine LaBarge, with illustrations by Caroline Corrigan, covers some of the most gifted female artists and their signature styles, and makes a great bedtime story for aspiring artists.

Inside Out Magazine

This picture book gets two huge thumbs up! It’s an A–Z book which highlights amazing female artists like Mirka Mora, Frida Kahlo and Yayoi Kusama. Take a read and learn lots! We also love the beautiful illustrations.

Little Angel Magazine

It may be an ‘ABC’ book but truly it is far more than that and lends itself easily to art classes for all from very young to senior readers. Highly recommended for inclusion in your collection and very much to be shared with your art faculty.

Sue Warren, Just So Stories

These women revolutionised the arts . . . one brush stroke, photograph, and quilt stitch at a time! A wonderful A to Z picture book that will hook little readers into the revolutionary world of art . . . I cannot wait to share this one on my classroom bookshelf!

Following the ever-growing trend for books about inspirational people, particularly inspirational women, this book is about women artists . . . Most of the artists will probably be unfamiliar to readers with a limited background in art but that itself is what makes this book so interesting and enlightening.
