Step into the colorful world of Henri Matisse and his magnificent paper cutouts in this biography by acclaimed picture book creator Jeanette Winter. In a small weaving town in France, a young boy named Henri-Emile Matisse drew pictures everywhere, and when he grew up, he moved to Paris and became a famous artist who created paintings that were adored around the world. But late in life a serious illness confined him to a wheelchair, and amazingly, it was from there that he created among his most beloved works—enormous and breathtaking paper cutouts. Based on the life of Henri Matisse, this moving and inspirational picture book biography includes a note from the author, dynamic quotes from Matisse himself, and an illuminating look at a little-known part of a great artist’s creative process.

The #1 New York Times bestselling memoir from Augusten Burroughs, Running with Scissors, now a Major Motion Picture! Running with Scissors is the true story of a boy whose mother (a poet with delusions of Anne Sexton) gave him away to be raised by her psychiatrist, a dead-ringer for Santa and a lunatic in the bargain. Suddenly, at age twelve, Augusten Burroughs found himself living in a dilapidated Victorian in perfect squalor. The doctor's bizarre family, a few patients, and a pedophile living in the backyard shed completed the tableau. Here, there were no rules, there was no school. The Christmas tree stayed up until summer, and Valium was eaten like Pez. And when things got dull, there was always the vintage electroshock therapy machine under the stairs.... Running with Scissors is at turns foul and harrowing, compelling and maniacally funny. But above all, it chronicles an ordinary boy's survival under the most extraordinary circumstances.

Turn simple paper strips into super paper art In 2006, we introduced a book on the venerable art of quilling. Being Klutz, we gave the topic a fresh, friendly spin, with plenty of kid-appealing projects and bright, juicy color. But, even so, we were a little concerned about the response such an old-fashioned craft would receive. We shouldn't have worried. More than 400,000 copies later, Twirled Paper is still going strong. Turns out kids (and -- surprise! -- grown-ups) love creating quirky, curly artwork out of strips of colored paper. So now we're thrilled to introduce a whole new generation to the craft. We've updated the package to our sturdy new easy-to-wrap, easy-to-stack, open-flat box. Along with plenty of space to store all the paper strips, glue, googly eyes and custom twirling wand, we've added a new built-in pinboard work surface. Of course, the book itself is still a cornucopia of ideas for using these supplies to make aliens, alphabets, bugs, birds, cats, cows, flowers, frogs, food, moons, monkeys, and more. Enough to make a whole twirled world!
