As I am older I have been lucky enough to see myself and my culture represented in books and screen. I'm so happy that people like Gyo Fujikawa led the way so that even little babies could see people like them on the page.

A lovely story that illuminated a pioneering children's illustrator I hadn't known much about. Read this book, get enchanted by Gyo Fujikawa, then go be enchanted (or re-enchanted) by many of her wonderful illustrations.

I love learning about interesting women in history. I would not have known about Gyo Fujikawa.

Gorgeous, inspiring, bold. I admire this artist so much-- her courage, her strength, and her desire for equality and social justice. Wow.

Definitely geared towards older kids, but I loved, LOVED this.

Once again a big sigh for my childhood where I had to do without picturebook biographies
