To celebrate, Thames & Hudson will publish Miffy and the Artists—a delightful portrayal of the art that inspired Bruna’s own work and that continues to inspire the next generation of artists.

Miffy and the Artists is a joyful introduction to art for young children, featuring Bruna's bold illustrations in combination with iconic artworks by Frida Kahlo, Yayoi Kusama, Henri Matisse, Vincent van Gogh, and Andy Warhol, among others.

Using clever pairings of Bruna's Miffy illustrations with with these well-loved works of art, the book neatly captures the essence of each work. Combining a simple statement about each artist with questions that encourage children to look more closely at the artwork on the page, Miffy and the Artists is a warm welcome into the world of art for young children and their families.
