Reviews
**STARRED REVIEW**
"An elegant, insightful portrait of an artist worth knowing."
**STARRED REVIEW**
"Take note of this biography of an extraordinary painter"
High-definition, full-page reproductions of her artwork, as well as supporting historical information about the era in which Bonheur lived, make this an accessible portrait of the artist. * School Library Journal *
Macdonald pares Rosa's biography down to accessible chapters, highlighting such interest-sparking details as the artist's need for documented permission to dress as a man to attend horse fairs and the mid-century portrait dolls modeled after her that became something of a rage. Plentiful, generously scaled reproductions of Bonheur's work and that of several contemporaries will lure in browsers, and discussion of the Impressionist movement that drove Realism from the field adds important context. * The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books *
A historically rich chronicle of artist Rosa Bonheur's life. * Publishers Weekly *
