"This enchanting picture book biography shines the spotlight on a little-known environmental pioneer and talented artist and businesswoman. ---Washington Parent This wonderful picture book tells the story of a singular woman who, despite physical challenges, pursued a life in art that made her happy. She used her art to remind people that nature was a gift, and that it was something that we should all work to protect and cherish. At the back of the book the author offers readers further information about Gwen Frostic's life. There is also a craft project that young readers might like to try."

"This is a delightful book about renowned artist Gwen Frostic. She overcame a debilitating illness as a child and with persistence and hard work she continued to show that her physical challenges could not hold her back. She was an artist, business woman, and passionate nature lover whose influence can still be found today. My 10 year old was especially excited to discover that her printmaking studio still exists today! Ages 6-10"
