★"Scenes unfold with cinematic flair...Bonheur's tenacity and determination will resonate with children, whether or not they're familiar with her art."--Quill & Quire, starred review
Based on the incredible life of the pioneering, feminist and queer artist Rosa Bonheur, this charming story depicts Rosa's early years and her drive to fight for her dreams.
Rosa Bonheur loved to draw animals. She was good at it too! Unfortunately, in nineteenth-century France, girls were not allowed to be artists. But Rosa didn't let that stop her. In this fictionalized account of her early life in Paris, Rosa studies art at home, bringing a menagerie of animals into the apartment to study up close. When she is kicked out of the horse market for sneaking in wearing boys clothing, Rosa must think creatively to challenge the rules in pursuit of her dream of becoming a world-class realist painter and artist.
Issued also in French under title: Pas de chevaux dans la maison! : la vie audacieuse de l'artiste Rosa Bonheur.
"A delightful picture book based on the true story of Rosa Bonheur, the nineteenth-century French artist who defied gender expectations and changed the art world with her realistic animal paintings."-- Provided by publisher.
