Description

A new series of illustrated books specifically designed for children in elementary education, narrating the stories of those great historical figures who have left their mark on humanity in fields such as science, art, exploration, music and other subjects. Young readers will be able to read all about these famous people's main achievements, experiencing the main steps of their lives through Isabel Munoz's engaging illustrations, and finding out some curious facts about their work and success. There is an index at the end of each volume listing the main biographical events and some simple quizzes will help children to further understand and test their knowledge. AGES: 6 plus AUTHOR: Jane Kent is a writer and editor with over 15 years' experience. After studying publishing at Oxford Brookes University, she worked for some of the UK's top publishers before becoming a freelancer at JVK Creative. She works on both children's and licensed book and magazine projects. Isabel Munoz is a very happy and enthusiastic illustrator, raised in a small town in the north of Spain. Painting was her favourite hobby as a child, so when the time came it only made sense to study Fine Arts at university. Today, after lots of hard work and many filled sketchbooks, Isabel's proud to say illustration has become her dream job.

Author Bio

Isabel Munoz was born in Asturias, Spain and is a graduate of the University of Madrid where she studied Fine Art. Since she was a child she has been closely linked to drawing: always carrying a book of sketches as she does not want inspiration to find her unprepared. She is a fan of childrens stories and loves to stop at the little details that are not visible to the naked eye.
