What a lovely picture book introduction to Lilias Trotter a remarkable artist and missionary The illustrations are lovely and often hearken back to Lilias own work Some of the narrative is a little stilted or incomplete but otherwise phenomenal picture book introducing kids to the idea of God s supremacy and direction in our lives and how He uses our talents for His glory Love it English Excellent Our book study group is reading Miriam Huffman Rockness A Passion for the Impossible a book about the life of Lilias Trotter Lily painting You will see Lily go through trials and decide what God has in store for her This book is a remarkable story about a young lady who grows into an old women It s just what she does that makes you keep reading on and on English You need this book Lovely story beautiful art and even better message I cannot think of another book that expresses clearly the fact that God has a unique plan for each of us This book has it all lovely illustrations art Nature real people and how God is a part of all but does not force Himself upon us Please buy this book I m off to follow the rabbit trail of John Ruskin English Lilias Trotter s life artistic skill devotion and service are inspiring The very warm drawings by Ladwig go a long way to add humanity and realism to the writing that seems a bit stiff and didactic English This picture book biography is visually lovely but the story s pacing is so uneven that I can only give it three stars It focuses on Lillian Trotter s early life with detail and attention but then rushes through her missions work in Algeria without providing any substantial information about her experiences there or how she used her art to connect with and minister to people This could have been much better if it included research about the rest of her life English I really wanted to like this book but the narrative felt stilted and heavy handed I would love to read about a missionary and how she put her faith in action but I don t want to be slapped over the head with it The Christianese was a bit annoying but not nearly as annoying as the constant switching between third person narrative and the characters thoughts in quotation marks I don t mind a true quotation here or there especially when it s apt but when you re inventing or inferring what people are thinking in a picture book biography there is no reason to present it as a quote There is such a thing called paraphrase and it really should have been used in this book The illustrations are beautiful but the narrative is unbalanced and poorly paced it spends too much time on things of minor importance jerks between events and hops between point of view characters when there shouldn t even be a POV character Also the sentence structure hardly ever varies the majority of sentences start with a noun verb construction and that quickly bleeds all life from the syntax.
