What They're Saying
Critics Review
⭐ “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

About The Author
Diana Ejaita
Diana Ejaita works as an illustrator and textile designer in Berlin. Her illustrations combine dramatically contrasting areas of black and white with soft patterns and textures to create images portraying the strength of femininity. Born in Cremona, Nigeria, her aesthetic pays homage to her lineage. “I am mostly into Central African culture; I love its literature, arts, and textile traditions. But as a child of migration and of interracial parents I am very driven by the issues of colonial/post-colonial effects, racial and gender discrimination, and identity research.” She lives with her baby/muse, Mathi, in Berlin and Lagos.
