Love the art in this bock, especially the skillful and creative ways many emotions are conveyed through imagery and hinted via lines and swirls. This is a quiet graphic story that eloquently showcases the interior life of a precocious prepubescent mind. Many of the double spreads are breathtaking and heartbreaking. It feels like a privilege to be allowed to peek into the minds of Rose and those around her.

Glad you liked it! It was one of my favorite books of year and I was very pleased to see it get a Caldecott Honor…

Been thinking about the Caldecott and what a game-changing year (one hopes) this has been — also re El Deafo for Newbery!

I haven’t seen that book yet but people have written to me about the scenes in the Indian Village.
