Engle’s thoughtful, lovely collection is a gift to anyone who has an interest in the breadth of women’s artistic achievements. Much to savor. Highly recommended.
While the story is made up of sometimes lovely verses, the book lacks a narrative or characters to make it a must-have. A secondary purchase of Engle’s work.
Despite the efficacy of the author and illustrator collaboration, the historical facts remain somewhat sketchy throughout the narrative. A gentle title to add cultural insight to any collection, though possibly best for larger budgets
