Ages 4 and up AUTHOR: Veronique Massenot studied art history and archaeology before she started writing novels and short stories for children. At once modern and classic, The Great Wave introduces young readers to a beloved artist and his timeless portrayals of nature and transformation. A stunning reproduction of the woodcut itself is featured in the book, supplemented by information about the artist and his work. In this children's book, the artist's masterpiece is the genesis for a simple but compelling story, beautifully illustrated in pictures that recall Hokusai's brilliant use of detail, perspective and colour. His famous woodcut, "The Great Wave," epitomises the artist's characteristic techniques and themes. Japanese artist Hokusai is one of the world's most celebrated printmakers.
Must he return to the ocean in order to become a young man? The answer arrives in the form of a mythic fish. Years pass, but still Naoki does not grow. On a stormy winter's day, a baby boy, Naoki, is swept into a fisherman's boat by a great wave. KEYNOTE: Hokusai's classic woodcut of a majestic wave becomes the starting point for a storybook children will want to read again and again.
