The secret world of Walter Anderson

Written by Hester Bass, Illustrated by E.B. Lewis

Hester Bass brings to life artist Walter Anderson, who, as she says, may be “the most famous artist you’ve never heard of.” E.B. Lewis’s watercolor illustrations are gorgeous. This book would make a wonderful addition to any art class, especially the classes that teach that “art is an adventure.” The Secret World of Walter Anderson is just lovely. If you love art, artists, or nature, this book is for you.
