This is the life story of one world class artist who overcame many difficulties in her life by expressing her talents in brilliantly colorful paintings. She was first confined by the damages of polio, then by being broken in a bus accident, later by illness, and still later by complications of previous injuries. She painted wonderfully and had many things to say about her ability to overcome adversity.
"I am not sick, I am broken. But I am happy to be alive as long as I can paint."
"At the end of the day, we can endure much more than we think we can."
BECOME A WORK OF ART!
"There is nothing more precious than laughter-it is strength to laugh and lose oneself, to be light." Throughout the book there are the illustrations by Natalia Rojas Castro which are delightful, imaginative, clear, and with the brilliant colors the artist herself preferred.
Well suited for reading WITH someone of any age including ESL, and great for gifting to anyone, but especially to a school or teacher or your public library! An excellent book!
I requested and received a free temporary e-book on Adobe Digital Editions from DK/DK Children via NetGalley. Thank you! And thanks to the MET!… (mais)
