The Long Journey of Joan Miró
Each life is a world in itself, and Joan Miró's was a whole universe. The Long Journey of Joan Miró tells the story of this magnificent artist who was fascinated by art and nature and who, from a very young age, pursued a dream with determination and ended up becoming one of the most famous artists in the world.

Illustrated by Marta Altés and written by Gemma Gallardo, this biography for children and adults alike takes us to places that were important to Miró —Barcelona, Mont-roig, Paris and Palma de Mallorca— and describes the most decisive moments in his artistic career. Imaginatively told in everyday language, accompanied by touching and colourful illustrations, The Long Journey of Joan Miró is essential reading for anyone interested in knowing more about this great artist, whether individually or as a family.
