Hans, a brave but sometimes somewhat lazy little bird, wakes up one morning to find that his nest is broken! In search of a quick solution, he suddenly finds himself in the studio of the famous artist Anni Albers. She tells him about the history and art of weaving and shows him how to build a new nest — one that is as practical as it is beautiful! This cheerful book takes children on a journey into the colorful world of Anni Albers, who changed the way we think about art and craft. Young readers will playfully learn how weaving works and what makes fabrics and textiles so special.
