Praise for Signs of Hope

***STARRED REVIEW*** "Playing with words and images, this picture book is an artful homage to a 'joyous revolutionary.'"
Booklist

A buoyant invitation to see the world and to look for artistic ways to improve it.
Kirkus

The narrative offers glimpses into the rest of Kent’s life, both the beauty and the challenges, with an emphasis on her way of seeing the world...
The Horn Book Magazine

[T]his optimistic biography of artist Corita Kent (1918–1986) shimmers with the figure’s energy and sense of possibility... Combining pop art and protest, the result is a joyous nexus of experimentation and creative responsibility that details a “small and quiet” figure whose art remains 'big and loud.'
