Starred Review, Publishers Weekly, February 18, 2013: “Quotations from Pippin about the psychological scars of war and his artistic process are hand-drawn into Sweet's images, underscoring how art was not only a joyful outlet for Pippin, but also a vital means of interpreting the world.” Starred Review, School Library Journal, January 1, 2013: “Bryant’s meticulously researched, eloquent text makes this a winning read-aloud, while Sweet’s vibrant, folksy illustrations, rendered in watercolor, gouache, and mixed media, portray the joys and hardships of the man’s life, using his trademark palette…with just a splash of red.” Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews, December 1, 2012: “This outstanding portrait of African-American artist Horace Pippin (1888-1946) allows Pippin’s work to shine—and his heart too.” Starred Review, Booklist, November 1, 2012: “…a well-structured narrative with recurring themes and a highly accessible style…outstanding.”
