Mimi is an artistic cat in need of a human. But for a cat like her€”with the soul of an artist€”only an artist will do. Mr. Dada is a human who believes that art can be anything, and that anything can be art. And for a human like him€”with the soul of a Dadaist€”only an artistic pet will do. Sometimes, though, it takes a while for humans to see what’s right in front of them all along. So it is a good thing that Mimi is loud and silly and surprising and bold. Mimi is a Dada cat, through and through.This charming story about staying true to yourself sparkles with playful prose and stunning mixed-media illustrations while introducing readers to the Dadaist art movement. Includes an author’s note, a list of books and websites, and an index.
