Maryann Macdonald's picture book biography Rosa's Animals: The Story of Rosa Bonheur and Her Painting Menagerie is "an elegant, insightful portrait of an artist worth knowing" (Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review).
Among the artworks discussed are The Horse Fair and Ploughing in the Nivernais. Along with her life story are a list of museums that house her work, archival color and black-and-white images, a bibliography, and an index.
"High-definition, full-page reproductions of her artwork, as well as supporting historical information about the era in which Bonheur lived, make this an accessible portrait of the artist." School Library Journal
