Author Cara Manes and illustrator Fatinha Ramos explore the life of Sonia Delaunay (1885-1979), painter and textile, theater, and fashion designer, who made enormous contributions to the development of abstraction in the early 1910s, in this picture book.

In Sonia Delaunay: A Life of Color, Delaunay and her six-year-old son Charles have a fantastical adventure in their car, modeled after her 1925 design for a Citroën convertible. They glide into a landscape of colors and shapes, as if they've driven into one of her paintings. Delaunay helps Charles understand her artistic process by asking him what shapes and colors he recognizes along the way, and Charles realizes that his mother's thoughts about art permeate every aspect of their life.

"Ramos's artwork echoes the shapes of colors of Delaunay's art brilliantly . . . A visual treat and a fine addition to round out any collection of art and monograph books for young children." --School Library Journal
