As a child, Ruth Asawa found inspiration everywhere—in spiderwebs, insect wings, plants, and drops of water. She grew up to become an extraordinary artist, transforming ordinary materials into the intricate hanging wire sculptures for which she became famous.
Andrea D’Aquino’s beautiful collage illustrations tell the story of Asawa’s creative life and invite children to look closely at the world around them and discover what they, too, might make by hand.
