Title:

 Lily Brown’s Paintings

Ages: Preschoolers and Up

Theme: Imagination/Family/Friendship

“Lily loves the real world in which she lives with her parents and baby brother. But when she paints, her world is transformed into a magical place indeed …”

- School Library Journal

“ … Although young biographies exist about this phenomenal woman, this picture-book account focuses solely on her childhood … The narrative portrays a bright, spunky child who didn’t let poverty or ridicule stand in her way, while the soft-edged, acrylic illustrations paint a determined, sober-faced girl …”

“… This simply told story highlights such every day events as eating oatmeal and walking to the store, aptly capturing a small child’s sense of pleasure in imitating an older sibling …  A universal story that features a warm and loving black family.”
