Following the success of her debut picture book, My Grandpa, which beautifully captures the loving relationship of an aging grandpa bear and his young grandson, Marta Altes once again shows in I Am An Artist that she is an exciting new talent to watch.

In her new book is a boy who sees art everywhere and can't stop creating because EVERYTHING inspires him. Whether it's a carrot, a hole, a mirror or a fridge, they all appear to him as art. Because his Mom doesn't understand him, he concocts the grandest plan to make her feel better about his creativity. Readers who are artists can easily relate to the boy whilst children who aren't yet so artistically aware may begin to see things around them in a rather different light... This is an inspirational and fun book to help bring out the artist and imagination in your child.

However, she is determined to get people to understand her.

Having raised a child with disability, multiple award winning author, Sharon Draper, pays tributes to parents who struggle with disabled children, to children who are misunderstood and too those who look away in this moving book that will change the way readers look at disability. The Dever Post says, "If there's only one book teens and parents (and everyone else) can read this year, Out of My Mind should be it."
