Love, by Sophia by Jim Averbeck and Yasmeen Ismail

Given an assignment in art class to draw what you love, Sophia struggles until her teacher explains “perspective” and what it means in art. When she completes her project she is so proud that she want’s to put it up on the refrigerator. This entails going to the family “committee” to see if it is acceptable. Each committee member questions if it is quality enough until grandmama who finally sees Sophia’s perspective.

This is a beautiful story that teaches ways to see art from different points of view. It also show determination and family. The artwork is bright and engaging. It was an enjoyable book. Your school art teacher will enjoy this addition to the school library.
