Brief description: Martin Bustamante is an illustrator and painter from Argentina. At the age of 3 he was able to draw a horse "starting by the tail"as his mother always tells. As a teenager he found on movies like Star Wars and books as Prince Valiant, from Harold Foster, new and fascinating worlds full of colors, shapes and atmospheres that became his inspiration for drawing. At that moment drawing and painting became his passions. He started working as a professional illustrator and has work for several editorials and magazines from Argentina, Usa and Europe.
Review Quotes: Focusing on women's competitive gymnastics, each entry in this series includes a visual and written description of techniques, as well as information about each event's most famous stars. There is frequent mention of working with a gymnastics club and coach to hopefully keep readers from attempting difficult maneuvers on their own and injuring themselves. . . .Purchase if your gymnastics collection needs a fresh face.-- "School Library Journal"
