Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

... an ambitious story about girlish blues, sisterly differences and the healing power of art ...--The New York Times

Vanessa's act of love is recounted with grace and sensitivity in this remarkable collaboration.--Publisher's Weekly

Parents will enjoy sharing this book with their sometimes ?wolfish? children.--School Library Journal, Starred Review

Knowledge of Virginia Woolf and her painter-sister Vanessa Bell is unnecessary; this works beautifully as a bad-day/bad-mood or animal-transformation tale, while readers who know actual depression will find it handled with tenderly forceful aplomb.--Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review

... the book is ultimately a feel-good celebration of the power of the imagination and art to create perfect places in the world when none can be found.--Booklist

... plum for adults ... a level of literary and biographical resonance to the tale of sisterly love.--Horn Book

Reseña del editor:

When her sister succumbs to a howling and growling mood that makes the whole family feel topsy-turvy, Vanessa tells her sister about a wonderful imaginary place that she paints on the bedroom walls in the form of a beautiful garden complete with a ladder and a swing, in a story loosely based on the relationship between writer Virginia Woolf and her artist sister, Vanessa Bell. By the award-winning creators of Spork.
