Summary: A Heartwarming Story
Comment: Emma is a seventy-two year old lonely woman who reaches a crossroads in her life after receiving a painting of her little village across the mountains. Emma doesn't feel that the painting represents the village as she remembers it. After a period of sadness and reflection, Emma decides to paint her village the way she remembers it. This opens a whole new door to creativity and purpose in her life.
3-8 year olds will enjoy the great illustrations, and the warm story.
Rating: 5
Summary: Cooney captures the story's charm perfectly.
Comment: I have always been a fan of Barbara Cooney's books. They are often poignant, charming, engaging and historically accurate. I have also enjoyed the books that Cooney illustrates for others, which have introduced me to many new authors. Working as the illustrator for Kesselman's book, Cooney shines once again. The story is equally admirable, even inspiring. While reading it, I imagined how much Cooney must have related to Emma, who lived a long, blessed life and expressed herself through art. Kesselman and Cooney's collaboration was a true success.
