This biography of Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama paints a pretty picture of young Yayoi, her decision to live life on her own terms, and her journey as an artist in America and Japan. 

This is an easy to understand yet captivating sketch of a colorful life. It seems to be intended for young girls, as there is a final section which highlights the accomplishments of other famous women artists, but anyone interested in biographical information will enjoy reading about this unique person.
