Jackie and the Mona Lisa

Jackie Kennedy loved the arts. And America loved Jackie Kennedy. The First Lady knew she had the country's attention — what would she do with it? Encourage Americans to appreciate art, of course!

She turned the White House into a historical site filled with some of America's most treasured artifacts and pieces of art. She brought Shakespearean theater to the White House and ballerinas to the South Lawn. And most epically, she brought the Mona Lisa to the states (much to the chagrin of many Parisians) to encourage Americans to visit museums — and it worked!

This colorful picture book tells an inspiring story about one of the nation's most influential First Ladies, focusing on her campaign to bring one of the world's most famous works of art to America. It's sure to inspire a love of arts and culture in a new generation!

Description

"Murphy succeeds in showing how the new, youthful first lady, schooled in the arts and admired by the American public for her fashion style and French affiliation, exerted a huge influence on U.S. culture. While the role of first lady has evolved over the years, Jackie Kennedy’s trailblazing work remains relevant for today’s young readers.... A worthy tribute to the legacy of a storied and inspiring American icon." — Kirkus Reviews
