Why read it?

1 author picked Matisse's Magical Trail as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

What a wonderfully creative idea it is to imagine a snail who draws beautiful art with his very own snail trail. This bold and colourful picture book encourages children to notice the small things all around them and delight in the details. This warm story encourages self-expression and celebrates the world around us (big and small) in every colour of the rainbow.

From Lou's list on artistic expression.
