(3) K-3 Illustrated by Cristina Amodeo. Friedman's spare, clear-eyed prose pairs with clean cut-paper illustrations to introduce readers to the development of Henri Matisse's late-career practice of cut-outs. Amodeo faithfully reflects the artist's techniques through layering and use of color ("experimenting with different harmonies and contrasts--the way colors played with and against each other"). Eight Matisse reproductions, some on foldouts, are interspersed throughout the book.
