Henri's Scissors

In a small weaving town in France a young boy named Henri-Emile Matisse drew pictures everywhere, and when he grew up, he moved to Paris and became a famous artist who created paintings that were adored around the world. But late in life a serious illness confined him to a wheelchair, and amazingly, it was from there that he created among his most beloved works – the enormous and breathtaking paper cut-outs. Based on the life of Henri Matisse, this moving and inspirational picture book biography illuminates a little-known part of a great artist’s creative process.
