A Life Made by Hand: The Story of Ruth Asawa

A beautifully illustrated book that I’ve bought as a Christmas present for a creative little girl.

I've been looking for a book on Asian female artists. Bought this book as a Christmas gift for my little budding 5 yo artist, and she loved it. The book gives a biographical background of Ruth's life and some famous names associated with her. There is also a project that you can DIY at the end of the book. The pictures are very interesting as well. Such a great find!

My daughter and I went to see a Ruth Asawa exhibition last year, we both really fell in love with her sculptures. I got her this book for Christmas and she loves it. The drawings are great and the story is engaging. This is a beautiful book for any child interested in art, especially girls looking for role models. Art history is dominated by males, but there are many females who are finally getting the spotlight they deserve.

I gave it to my grand daughter. She learns about a true ‘hero’, and her creativity is stimulated!

As advertised and on time

This 1/2" thick book was onviously thrown into a 5.5" deep box without a single piece of packing whatsoever. How it arrived, despite being tossed around inside beats me but I do not anymore consider it 'NEW.
