Praise

This enlightening picture-book biography is infused with the author’s respect for the unorthodox couple and their artistic legacy. . . . Haidle’s (Before They Were Artists) energetic mixed-media illustrations in an understated earth-tone palette help convey the interactive spirit of the text and reflect artwork’s relationship with the natural world.
—The Horn Book (starred review)

An author’s note relates that Neri was the last writer to interview Christo before his death in 2020, and his admiration and respect for these two innovators emanates joyfully throughout the pages. . . . Even a cursory perusal of the text will provide readers with a gallery of Christo’s and Jeanne-Claude’s works with labels and dates. A closer read presents a smooth flow of words that unwraps the vitality and passion of two unusual and iconoclastic modern artists.
—School Library Connection (starred review)

A glimpse into the passion to create as manifested in the marriage of two 20th-century dynamos. . . . Thoughtful design and substantive content speak volumes about how to appreciate modern art—and its creators.
