When a young boy learns about what makes art special—sometimes it’s beautiful, sometimes it’s funny, sometimes it tells a story—he realises that these same characteristics are what make his grandmother special, too. As a result, he finds the inspiration to create his own masterpiece that’s one of a kind. Christopher Award–winning author Scott Menchin and New York Times bestselling illustrator Harry Bliss have teamed up for a celebration of the power of art and expression, and the extraordinary love between grandparent and child.
A good bridge to take children from comic tropes to fine art. * Kirkus Reviews *
By steering readers into the heady realm of context, criteria, and taste, everyone becomes a critic - and that's an illuminating, empowering thing. * Publishers Weekly *
The story is well written and serves as a great introduction to art appreciation. The subject matter, along with a tender grandparent relationship, makes this a worthwhile purchase. -- Anna Haase Krueger, Ramsey County Library, MN * School Library Journal *
Young art history students will enjoy embedded Picasso and Duchamp references. Grandmas, particularly those who belong to the Red Hat Society, will be pleased to be honored as 'one of a kind.' -- Sarah Ellis * The Horn Book Magazine *
