With beautiful photos of the range of Niki's work, this children's book enables both kids and adults to get an overview of Niki's work, especially her sculptures. This is the only book I have found that has pictures of her Escondido work-- it is a magical place and one can get a feel for it through this book.

I LOVED this book. It's written, it seems, to be a children's book. Yet it works well for adults to explain who Niki is as an artist in simple terms to people who may not be educated about art, especially "modern" art. I showed it to my sister who never appreciated Niki's work and she finally began to understand it. . The book is simply and wonderfully written. A real find for the Niki fan or someone who may not be.

I bought this book to keep at my house for when my 6-year-old niece visits. She liked it so much that her mom bought another copy of it to keep at their house.
