Miffy and the Impressionists

Discover new artists together with Miffy! In this book, Miffy shows you paintings by the Impressionists. Meet painters such as Mary Cassatt, Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, and Georges Seurat. These artists observed the world around them very closely and drew inspiration from everyday life. Dick Bruna was also inspired by the world around him. Take a close look at the artworks in this book. At first glance, they do not resemble Dick Bruna's drawings, but if you take the time, you will start to see similarities. Discover new ways of looking at art and let yourself be inspired! In 2026, it will be 100 years since both Claude Monet and Mary Cassatt passed away. The first title in this series is still available: Miffy and the Artists. It won the award for Best Designed/Illustrated Book for Children (Factual) at the Junior Design Awards in England.
