This picture book biography crammed full of gouache art and hand-lettered text may appeal especially to middle-grader graphic novel fans. The story of Child’s life and the discovery of her passion is intriguing to read and visually explore, with interesting details (size 12 shoe!), bits of French, and even recipes.
