The illustrations are what called me to this book. Actually, they hollered. They remind me of batik. It says they're done with scratchboard and acrylic and that Sadler's paintings are exhibited in galleries all over the U.S. I've gotta check this out! They're exceptionally cool.
In this memoir, Patrick tells of fun-filled summers with her cousins at her grandmother's house on a hill in Louisiana.
What a great model for memoir writing for kids - and turning the final copy into a picture book.
