The Artist Who Loved Cats is a rhyming picture book biography of artist Theophile-Alexandre Steinlen, the creator of the iconic Le Chat Noir Cabaret posters created in 19th-century Paris. The book opens in modern-day France, when little Antoinette notices a bronze sculpture in the window of her favorite antique store and begs shopkeeper Monsieur Arvieux and his clever cat Noir to tell her about the artist. A celebration of art, inspiration and following your heart to create a life that you love.
