Monet’s Picture Book: Playing Tag with the Sun
Product Description
Discover the masterpieces of Claude Monet in a beautiful picture book designed especially for children. By following Monet’s lifelong fascination with changing sunlight—across seasons, times of day, and weather—kids can “step into” famous scenes such as water lilies, haystacks, and church landscapes, and see how the same view transforms in different light. Close-up details of Water Lilies and side-by-side comparisons of Haystacks make the effects of color and light instantly clear, and the book also includes a fun haystack coloring activity.
This title is part of the long-selling Shogakukan Art Book series for children, launched in 1996 with the concept that “masterpieces play with you.” The series, including 13 painter-focused volumes and 3 volumes of “Hirameki Museum,” has surpassed 700,000 copies in print and received the 47th Shogakukan Children’s Publication Culture Award for its fresh approach to art appreciation. In recognition of Masako Yuki’s long-standing efforts to introduce art to children, she was awarded the 50th Kurushima Takehiko Culture Prize in 2010.
Perfect as a child’s first encounter with art, this series helps families enjoy world-class paintings together and nurture creativity through play, looking, and hands-on activities.
