Book Overview

**The multimillion-copy bestselling Little People, BIG DREAMS series**

Discover the life of Andy Warhol, the ground-breaking pop artist, told in an inspiring biography for kids

Little Andy was the tiniest and palest child of the Warholas, a humble family from Slovakia who lived in Pittsburgh. He loved drawing and always had a sketchbook in hand but was too shy to show his work to others.

As an adult he got a chance to publish his first illustration for a glamorous magazine. He turned his attention to the ordinary, like soup cans he ate from for lunch every day. He showed the world that the ordinary objects could POP, and founded a cultural movement, becoming one of the most famous artists of the twentieth century.

This 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 artist's life.

Little People, BIG DREAMS is a bestselling biography series for kids that explores the lives of outstanding people, from designers and artists to scientists and activists. All of them achieved incredible things, yet each began life as a child with a dream.
