🌊 October 31st is the birthday of famed Japanese artist, Hokusai! You may know him best for his woodblock print, The Great Wave — but what you might not know about him is that he had a daughter.⁠ ⁠ A daughter who was also an artist! 👩‍🎨⁠ ⁠ The new bilingual children’s book Hokusai’s Daughter by Sunny Seki tells the story of Katsushika Oi, daughter of Hokusai. Despite facing societal barriers and being told that girls cannot be artists, Oi bravely pursues her passion and ultimately becomes a celebrated artist in her own right. Her journey is an inspiring tale of determination and creativity, inviting readers to believe in themselves and follow their dreams! 🎨⁠ ⁠ Available now wherever fine books are sold, or at the link in bio ✨⁠ ⁠ 🏷️⁠ #hokusai #greatwave #woodblockprint #childrensbook #childrensbooks #bookstagram #booksforkids #bilingual #languagelearning #bilingualchildmonth
