Critics Review
- “Reverent lines from Davis Pinkney use the language of “planting and tilling” throughout. Background washes by Minter, a study in radiant paintwork, overflow with white-outlined flowers that represent “Chloe Ardelia,” Morrison’s given name, which means “blooming floret.” More glowing tribute than straight biography, it’s a soulful paean to a beloved creator.“–Publishers Weekly, starred review
* “Pinkney’s sumptuous writing is paired perfectly with multilayered illustrations by Minter, who embeds washes of watercolor with white linework and acrylic overlays to convey the sheer vibrancy of Morrison…. Creative teachers will find many ways to use this lush book as a mentor text for creative writers.”–Booklist, starred review
* “This winning tribute to a great American writer is a must-purchase for picture book collections.”–School Library Journal, starred review
* “Minter’s evocative illustrations pair perfectly with the lyrical text…. A potent example of the reach of artistic genius.”–Kirkus, starred review
