Rose O'Neill (1874-1944) inventor of the comic strip, creator of Kewpie comics, and  Kewpie Doll. Although Kewpie is a household name around the world, few know the woman behind the illustrations. This oversize richly illustrated book with examples of Rose O'Neill's work is a great read for both children and adults.  From the prairies of Nebraska to the streets of New York City O'Neill became one of the first female millionaires from her own hard work. Love, drama, and humor fill the pages of this book. Her comics lead to Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse, Little Nemo, Mango, Anime and thousands more.

Art lovers will be interested in the road  Rose O'Neill took to reveal her point of view.

"A book interesting enough for young children and detailed enough for the serious collectors. The new photos alone are worth the price"
