Here is the fascinating story -- based on true fact -- of a world-famous artist and a little girl who became one of his models. Sylvette first met Picasso in 1954, when she was a girl in the southern French town of Vallauris. At that time, she was the shyest and dreamiest girl among her friends, though today, she is a respected artist in her own right. When Picasso set up his studio in a nearby house, he spotted young Sylvette and was taken immediately by her classical profile and her lovely ponytail. When at last he convinced her to pose for what became the first of more than forty works of art, the two gradually became good friends. Before long, Picasso's portraits of Sylvette became famous around the world.

Author and illustrator, Laurence Anholt, captures the spirit of this warm-hearted story in words and pictures. In the process he also introduces several of Picasso's most famous paintings. Young readers will be intrigued to see how Picasso transformed Sylvette's image into a variety of fantastic and whimsical forms. (Ages 4-7).
