Thanks to the publisher for this review copy. All opinions are my own.
Loved this narrative nonfiction picture book about Alice Guy-Blache, the first female filmmaker. The writing is engaging and shows Alice' creativity, persistence and sense of humor. It describes Alice as a trailblazer, even if the changing film industry meant she never got full credit for her contributions.
It's a bit longer than the average picture book at 60 pages, so there's a lot of story here and so much to look at in the illustrations by Simona Ciraolo. I'm loving the muted palette.
