Meet the artist who didn’t just make art—she became it. This bold, beautifully illustrated picture book introduces young readers to performance art legend Marina Abramović, who uses her body, her bravery, and a whole lot of endurance to make people think (and sometimes squirm). From sitting back-to-back with her partner for 17 hours to washing cow bones for days, Marina proves that art isn’t always about paint—it’s about presence.

With striking red, black, and white illustrations, this book celebrates the original queen of pushing boundaries. And yes—she’s one of our founder’s all-time favorites, too (because what’s more Hei-Day than turning yourself into art and not apologizing for it?).

Perfect for ages 4–7, plus grown-ups who appreciate art that asks “what if?” and “why not?”
