Creative Lives

Who are the people who enliven our world? We have Ludwig van Beethoven and Aretha Franklin to thank for bringing music to our lives. Writer Jane Austen sparks our imaginations with her novels, while Mexican artist Frida Kahlo's paintings splash the world with color and emotion. Puppeteer Jim Henson and animator Walt Disney's films and television shows have given joy to children and adults alike. This series sheds light on these creative lives for young readers through colorful photographs, age-appropriate language, and motivating quotes.
