Review # 1 was written on 2017-01-22 00:00:00 Todd Burrow First sentence: Lily Brown loves her mama, daddy, and baby brother and the world they live in. Sometimes she spins around her room thinking about their world. And it's wondrous. But when Lily Brown paints, her world starts to change. Premise/plot: Lily lives happily in two worlds. The second world she lives in is one of her own imagination, her own reckoning. When Lily Brown paints fruit at the corner market, it is striped and polka-dotted. It speaks to people, then laughs out loud. When people put the fruit in bags to take home, the apples sing all the way there. At the end of the day, when the painting--for now--has all been done, she happily returns to the real world and LOVES it just as much. My thoughts: What doesn't this picture book celebrate? It celebrates art, freedom of expression, love of life, love of family, JOY, imagination. I'm sure I could think of more if I keep rereading it. It's just a joy to spend time with Lily.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-07-28 00:00:00 Wu Tsz yan The paintings within this book were amazing and I truly enjoyed how Lily literally injected herself into her paintings, where she got lost in her own world and changed the way that she saw the world around her. I was impressed at how well the realistic features of her and her family's faces blended in with the cartoon/animated world around her, and I enjoyed learning about how amazed she was with the world around her. The illustrations cover the entire pages and each scene covers 2 pages all through the gutter portions as well. The literature within the book was easy to read and I would recommend this book to teachers that may need a great book to introduce to their students to the world of painting.
