School Library Journal - 09/20/2024 Gr 3–7—An unseen student of Sister Corita Kent shares her inspiring life and ideologies in this picture book biography. Light on early details, this book concentrates on Sister Kent's artist perspectives and teaching methods but back matter and a time line fill in any blank spots for inquisitive readers needing more detail. Beautiful collage illustrations with text, inspired by Sister Kent's style, along with some of her original are shown on every page, highlighting her style and message of looking more carefully at things to see them in a new, deeper way. VERDICT An inspiring book helping to remind everyone to look at things more carefully to find deeper meaning in ideas and life. Recommended for libraries where picture book biographies are popular.—Melisa Bailey - Copyright 2024 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
