Marcus Pfister, creator of the internationally bestselling Rainbow Fish series, uses rhyming, artistic, and self-referential narratives to explore creativity and to celebrate the paintbrush as a tool for artistic expression. The illustrations, created with watercolor, acrylic, water-soluble felt-tip pen, pencil, chalk pastel, Indian ink, and gouache, are bright, whimsical, and richly textured, with vivid colors and expressive characters. The book serves as an “homage to all things art,” encouraging readers to explore their own creativity. Backmatter includes a retrospective of Pfister’s work and offers inspiration for his many backlist titles and his creative techniques.
