This story from well-known author Matthew Burgess, vibrantly illustrated by artist Kara Kramer, draws readers into the life of a singular woman whose work and commitment invite us all to seek joy in the everyday, to observe the world with open eyes, and to question and see beyond the existing framework of society.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis beautiful biography, made in close collaboration with the Corita Art Center, includes reproductions of Corita’s works, a chronology, and author and illustrator notes.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAWARDS AND REVIEWS\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e★ “Celebrate the life of artist, nun, and activist Corita Kent. When Frances Elizabeth Kent first receives art lessons as a sixth grader, she becomes, in Burgess’ poetic telling, 'a bird in the breeze of her brush'; the phrase is repeated with powerful effect in the final spread of this compelling picture-book biography. As an adult, Frances joins the Order of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, becoming Sister Mary Corita. The book chronicles her years of teaching, during which she coins the portmanteau plork when 'play and work are one'; her training in silk-screening; and her transformation of the art department of Immaculate Heart College into a 'lively center of art and design.' With art that encourages seeing 'the sacred in the everyday' and her passion for speaking out against social injustices and war, Corita makes waves and angers the archbishop. After release from her vows, she moves to Boston to continue to make art. The text shines with a deeply felt reverence for Corita’s work and makes explicit her influence as a teacher, artist, and activist. Design choices, including a double gatefold in the book’s center and a surprise cover beneath the dust jacket, emphasize Corita’s inspired mission. The lively, brightly colored illustrations feature occasional photo collage elements and incorporate a vivid blue bird as a symbol of Corita and her artistic spirit. Detailed backmatter fleshes out Corita’s life and accomplishments. Delightful. Plork!” —STARRED REVIEW, Kirkus\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e★ “Pop icon Corita Kent stars in this gorgeous picture book and if you’ve never heard of her, after reading it, you’ll immediately head to the Corita Art Center’s website to see more of her work. Burgess and Kramer work together seamlessly to tell us about Kent’s childhood, her inspirations, her religious vocation, her place in the Pop Art movement, and her activism. This is a complex story, but Burgess’s text, related with a clean, typewriter font, gives the perfect amount of information. I loved the focus on small moments and their influence on her art. Big questions that might concern adults (why did she become a nun? What is a nun, anyway? Why did she leave the Church?) are introduced with matter-of-fact language and left at that. Kramer has succeeded where so many other art biography illustrators fail; her work perfectly captures the playfulness, vibrancy, and deepness of Kent’s work but does not compete with it. The book is quite large, and Kramer takes advantage of that to create a giant double-hinged picture of Corita’s students using cardboard finders to re-envision ordinary objects. The pages swing open to reveal students peering at grocery shelves, including the famous Del Monte tomato cans that figure in the book’s title.” —STARRED REVIEW, Susan Harari (Boston Latin School) for Youth Services Book Review\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e★ “Burgess’s captivating picture book biography of Sister Corita Kent (1918–1986) tells the story of a person and an artist always in a state of becoming: ‘Nothing is a mistake. There’s no win and no fail. There’s only make.’ From her working-class California childhood to her vocation as a nun, her introduction to screen printing through María Sodi de Ramos Martínez, and her interest in marketing messaging and material culture, Burgess shows how Kent’s art grew out of her life and time: ‘For Corita, art and activism and protest and celebration were connected.’ Throughout, Kramer’s illustration style shifts, subtly mirroring Kent’s evolution as an artist by layering in signature motifs from her art—block-print letters, collage-like composition, screen print textures, and bright color—that reveal Kent’s awareness of the world around her.

After showing promise as a young artist, Kent surprised everyone by becoming a nun, but it was as a teacher with her order that she not only learned her signature method but learned the importance of play and exploration, which became fundamental to both her teaching and her art. Kramer’s illustrations do an excellent job of evoking Kent’s style, with bright colors, blocky shapes, and text included in just about every spread, which incorporate some of Kent’s classroom rules, like ‘consider everything an experiment.’ Burgess’ text tidily links Kent’s art to her work as a teacher, her religious beliefs, her powerful sense of justice, and her unguarded way of noticing beauty in the everyday, and the result is an affectionate, approachable portrait of an important artist (bolstered by helpful back matter with additional context about Kent).

We see her artistic awakening in sixth grade, her entry into religious life, and the development of her talents as a teacher and maker of graphic Pop Art images… In such works, Mr. Burgess writes, ‘Corita invited others to see the sacred in the everyday.’ The book treads lightly over the churning politics of the time, so 6- to 11-year-olds may be a little mystified as to why Sister Corita felt the displeasure of her archbishop or why, in the end, she left religious life.

This story from well-known author Matthew Burgess, vibrantly illustrated by artist Kara Kramer, draws readers into the life of a singular woman whose work and commitment invite us all to seek joy in the everyday, to observe the world with open eyes, and to question and see beyond the existing framework of society.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis beautiful biography, made in close collaboration with the Corita Art Center, includes reproductions of Corita’s works, a chronology, and author and illustrator notes.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAWARDS AND REVIEWS\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e★ “Celebrate the life of artist, nun, and activist Corita Kent. When Frances Elizabeth Kent first receives art lessons as a sixth grader, she becomes, in Burgess’ poetic telling, 'a bird in the breeze of her brush'; the phrase is repeated with powerful effect in the final spread of this compelling picture-book biography. As an adult, Frances joins the Order of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, becoming Sister Mary Corita. The book chronicles her years of teaching, during which she coins the portmanteau plork when 'play and work are one'; her training in silk-screening; and her transformation of the art department of Immaculate Heart College into a 'lively center of art and design.' With art that encourages seeing 'the sacred in the everyday' and her passion for speaking out against social injustices and war, Corita makes waves and angers the archbishop. After release from her vows, she moves to Boston to continue to make art. The text shines with a deeply felt reverence for Corita’s work and makes explicit her influence as a teacher, artist, and activist. Design choices, including a double gatefold in the book’s center and a surprise cover beneath the dust jacket, emphasize Corita’s inspired mission. The lively, brightly colored illustrations feature occasional photo collage elements and incorporate a vivid blue bird as a symbol of Corita and her artistic spirit. Detailed backmatter fleshes out Corita’s life and accomplishments. Delightful. Plork!” —STARRED REVIEW, Kirkus\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e★ “Pop icon Corita Kent stars in this gorgeous picture book and if you’ve never heard of her, after reading it, you’ll immediately head to the Corita Art Center’s website to see more of her work. Burgess and Kramer work together seamlessly to tell us about Kent’s childhood, her inspirations, her religious vocation, her place in the Pop Art movement, and her activism. This is a complex story, but Burgess’s text, related with a clean, typewriter font, gives the perfect amount of information. I loved the focus on small moments and their influence on her art. Big questions that might concern adults (why did she become a nun? What is a nun, anyway? Why did she leave the Church?) are introduced with matter-of-fact language and left at that. Kramer has succeeded where so many other art biography illustrators fail; her work perfectly captures the playfulness, vibrancy, and deepness of Kent’s work but does not compete with it. The book is quite large, and Kramer takes advantage of that to create a giant double-hinged picture of Corita’s students using cardboard finders to re-envision ordinary objects. The pages swing open to reveal students peering at grocery shelves, including the famous Del Monte tomato cans that figure in the book’s title.” —STARRED REVIEW, Susan Harari (Boston Latin School) for Youth Services Book Review\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e★ “Burgess’s captivating picture book biography of Sister Corita Kent (1918–1986) tells the story of a person and an artist always in a state of becoming: ‘Nothing is a mistake.

What Do You Know? is an indirect mechanism for delivering love to readers ages 5-8, but with its varied scenes and characters, it fosters a sense of the wondrous width of the world and the connections between seemingly disparate things in it.” —Wall Street Journal\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“Created by two sisters, this picture book… celebrates the wild diversity of life on earth but also the connection to wonder and mystery around us. The book is simple yet deeply profound, offering hope in darkness, the breath of whales and bears, and the magnificence of change even if it takes millennia. Happily, the writing doesn’t rhyme, instead held together by the question and answer format. The writing is gentle and responsive, allowing each scenario to stand unique but also part of the whole. The art is bold and simple. It moves from layers of earth in the fields to lava flowing across the land to the immense eye of a whale at sea. It invites us to see the beauty in laundry on an urban line, the marvel of goats on cliffs, and the profound black of a starlit night. Gorgeous, deep and full of marvels.” —Waking Brain Cells\u003c\/p\u003e"}

Starting in the 1800s and continuing into the 20th century, First Nations children were forcibly taken to government-sponsored residential schools to erase their traditional languages and cultures. This moving book tells of one such child, author Larry Loyie, and his last summer with his Cree tribe. It is a time of learning and adventure. He cares for an abandoned baby owl, watches his grandmother make winter moccasins, and sees her kill a huge grizzly with one shot. The sensitive text and Heather Holmlund's expressive illustrations beautifully capture the joy and drama of a First Nations family's last summer together.
