Vor dreißig Jahren begann Laurence Anholt seine beliebte Kinderbuchreihe über große Künstler und die Kinder, die sie wirklich kannten. Seither haben sich die Geschichten über Vincent van Gogh, Frida Kahlo, Pablo Picasso, Leonardo da Vinci und viele andere Genies der westlichen Kunst weltweit millionenfach verkauft und waren für viele der Beginn einer lebenslangen Liebe zur Kunst. Die Geschichten wurden in vielen Formen adaptiert, darunter Braille-Ausgaben für blinde und sehbehinderte Kinder, Ballettaufführungen, Operninszenierungen sowie ein Bühnenmusical in Korea. Diese Jubiläumsausgabe enthält neben Anholts farbenfrohen Aquarellillustrationen Dutzende hochwertige Reproduktionen der Künstlergemälde, kindgerechte Künstlerbiografien und interaktive Fragen an die jungen Leser. Jede Geschichte ist eng an die historischen Ereignisse angelehnt und basiert auf umfangreichen Recherchen. In vielen Fällen besuchte Anholt die Häuser und Ateliers der Künstler, wandelte auf ihren Spuren und befragte ihre Verwandten. Er bekam privaten Zugang zu Monets Haus in Giverny und schloss enge Freundschaft mit Sylvette David (heute Lydia Corbett), Picassos berühmtem Mädchen mit dem Pferdeschwanz. Um die Künstler und ihre Welten einem jungen Publikum zugänglich zu machen, verwendet Anholt eine Erzählperspektive, bei der die Ereignisse durch die Augen eines Kindes betrachtet werden, das den Künstler tatsächlich kannte. Auf diese Weise werden die Leser "huckepack" durch die Geschichte geführt und die Künstler, die sonst vielleicht unnahbar erscheinen, zu alltäglichen Menschen. Nebenbei werden wichtige Themen und Werte wie Freundlichkeit, Selbstwertgefühl, Ausdauer, Kreativität und Mut vermittelt. Vielleicht liegt es an Anholts einfühlsamer Erzählweise oder seinen handgefertigten Illustrationen. Vielleicht ist es auch seine Liebe zu Kindern und die Leidenschaft für sein Thema. Was auch immer der Grund war, eine ganze Generation von Lesern hat durch seine Geschichten eine lebenslange Liebe zur Kunst gefunden; und gibt nun dieses wertvolle Geschenk an ihre eigenen Kinder weiter.
