⭐ "Simply wonderful, and a balm for these troubled times." —Kirkus (STARRED REVIEW)

⭐ ". . . a lovely addition to the shelves of young artists, a fantastic gift for art teachers and a refreshing reminder to us all about the power that art provides." —Bookpage (STARRED REVIEW)

". . . remind[s] young creatives that no matter who they are or where they come from, they have the freedom to share and celebrate their work of art to make an impact on others' lives." —The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"A bracing part of the [book's] message is that making art can be difficult; it can take a lot of time to get an idea and then even more time and patience to make the idea come alive. But the benefits—experiencing joy and even sadness, getting wiser, giving something beautiful to the world—are well worth the effort." —Booklist
