(3) K-3 Illustrated by Simona Ciraolo. "Mother of the Movies," filmmaker Alice Guy-Blaché pioneered the creation of fictional films with sound. In this fast-paced biography, Rockliff's storytelling mimics the adventure-filled movies her subject loved; silent-film title cards (cleverly based on Guy-Blaché film titles) divide the narrative. Ciraolo's action-packed dry-media illustrations feature unexpected coloring and surprising perspectives. A "Director's Cut" offers further information and a film list. Bib.
