Paschkis’ folk-style illustrations powerfully evoke the puzzlelike shapes of Tiffany windows, with vibrant colors set inside thick black lines. . . . An evocative look at one woman’s gift for channeling her love of nature into art. —Kirkus Reviews

Alongside delicate, design-oriented text by Nickel, Paschkis combines black outlines and luminous colors to make the pages glow like stained-glass itself. —Publishers Weekly (starred review) The illustrations, drawn with india ink and then painted with gouache, marvelously mimic the motifs, shapes, and heavy black outlines of the stained glass. A terrific blend of art and social history set in an absorbing biography about an unacknowledged genius. —Booklist (starred review) Paschkis’ folk-style illustrations powerfully evoke the puzzlelike shapes of Tiffany windows, with vibrant colors set inside thick black lines. . . . An evocative look at one woman’s gift for channeling her love of nature into art. —Kirkus Reviews
