(4) K-3 Pioneer girl Abiah Rose tells of how she pursued the life of a painter, despite being discouraged (Papa: "Serious painting is not girl's work"). Because the narrative is so lively and eventful, the story, a veiled history lesson, will engage readers as much as it enlightens them. The acrylic and colored-pencil art compensates for some lack of polish with its marvelous particularity. Reading list. Glos.
