NOONIE'S MASTERPIECE
By Lisa Railsback
Illustrated by Sarajo Frieden
Published by Chronicle Books (Feb. 2010)

Fantastic illustrations with a fresh, contemporary look enrich this debut novel about a 10-year-old aspiring artist stuck living with an aunt, uncle, and cousin who clearly don't recognize her genius. A humorous and heartfelt reminder that "a brilliant artist is never afraid," this book reveals that sometimes our greatest masterpieces are the bonds we unexpectedly forge with the people in our lives.
