Riassunto

When her sister succumbs to a howling and growling mood that makes the whole family feel topsy-turvy, Vanessa tells her sister about a wonderful imaginary place that she paints on the bedroom walls in the form of a beautiful garden complete with a ladder and a swing, in a story loosely based on the relationship between writer Virginia Woolf and her artist sister, Vanessa Bell. By the award-winning creators of Spork.

Recensione:

... an ambitious story about girlish blues, sisterly differences and the healing power of art ...―The New York Times

... plum for adults ... a level of literary and biographical resonance to the tale of sisterly love.―Horn Book

Vanessa's act of love is recounted with grace and sensitivity in this remarkable collaboration.―Publisher's Weekly

Parents will enjoy sharing this book with their sometimes ?wolfish? children.―School Library Journal, Starred Review

Knowledge of Virginia Woolf and her painter-sister Vanessa Bell is unnecessary; this works beautifully as a bad-day/bad-mood or animal-transformation tale, while readers who know actual depression will find it handled with tenderly forceful aplomb.―Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review

... the book is ultimately a feel-good celebration of the power of the imagination and art to create perfect places in the world when none can be found.―Booklist
