Swain takes readers into Wanda's girlhood in rural Minnesota, where, from an early age, her artistic talents flourished. Yet Wanda, the eldest of seven siblings, was pushed abruptly into adulthood when her father's untimely death left her in charge of the household. After years of struggle, Wanda G g was finally able to go to New York to pursue her passion. Her art was eventually featured at top galleries and her books, influenced by her love of nature and animals, became wildly popular among children and critics across the United States.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eComplemented by Wanda's illustrations, letters, and diary entries, Wanda G g: Storybook Artist illuminates for young readers the amazing life of a charismatic artist who triumphed over adversity to realize her dreams.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Borealis Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780873515443\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 98\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.06w x 0.33d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Minnesota Book Award - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eUniv PR Books for Public Libry\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2006 pg. 1 - Strongly Recommended\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Gwenyth Swain","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38606660042933,"sku":"9780873515443","price":11.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_b9f2e213-cb82-4bdc-929a-e8a137ebe742.jpg?v=1614085834","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/wanda-gag-storybook-artist-9780873515443","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
