(4) K-3 Illustrated by Pascal Milelli. Set in the 1900s and based on the life of Emily Carr, a Northwest Coast painter, the text is narrated by children who study drawing and painting with Miss Carr. Milelli's oil on canvas illustrations are appropriately painterly, allowing his darker underpaint colors to show through in flatter areas. The lack of plot probably won't matter to young artists or to teachers looking for historically accurate material about women painters.
