Read about the incredible life of David Hockney, the inspirational British artist.

Little David loved to draw and looked at the world in his own unique way. He always knew what his path in life would be… he would be an artist!

He went to art school and worked day and night to hone his drawing skills. He sold his first painting as a student, and in just five years he had a sell-out solo show of his work. When he moved from the UK to sunny California, he became known for creating bright, bold paintings.

From the Grand Canyon to the Yorkshire hills of home, David painted fantastic landscapes, including one made of 50 canvases all stitched together. An artist who delights in constantly reinventing himself, to this day David is eager to share his colourful work, and himself, with the whole world.

This inspiring book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the incredible young poet and activist’s life so far.

Eli Q. ★★★★★

My nephew is obsessed with art, and this book about David Hockney really clicked with him. The way it describes how he always knew his path is so inspiring for a kid. He's already asking for more from the series.

Madison D. ★★★★★

The illustrations are vibrant and capture Hockney’s playful energy perfectly, and the story is just the right length for a bedtime read. My daughter asked to read it twice in a row, and it sparked a whole conversation about colors and perspective.
