Book Synopsis
"This charming story is both affirmative and celebratory of the different skill sets children possess." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review) Rose is a distracted and creative soul. She does her best at school, but sometimes her mind wanders and she answers the wrong question. And keeping her desk neat is a challenge. When it's time to make thank-you cards for a class visitor, Rose's art supplies turn her workspace -- and her -- into a colorful mess. But her artistic skills shine through in the gorgeous oversize card she creates. Could she possibly get a star after all?Review Quotes
Mann, in her second book as both author and illustrator, works with assurance as she puts her jittery ink line and layered washes of color to work in the service of both emotional vulnerability and schoolroom slapstick without missing a beat.... Mann is well on her way to becoming a champion portrayer of those who color outside the lines or march to a different drum.About The Author
Jennifer K. Mann was an architect before turning to children's books full-time. This is the second book that she has written and illustrated, following Two Speckled Eggs. She lives on an island near Seattle with her husband, children, cats, dogs, and chickens.Estimated Delivery | Cost | Tracking | Courier |
