Reviews

"The charmingly breezy art depicts Izzy and other figures in thick marker-like lines, giving them a contrasting simplicity to both the complexity of the detailed city in its saturated 70s colors and the paint-like strokes and splatters of Izzys artwork. Izzys final piece... underscores the fun of the creative process... and the wry humor playing between text and art is a bonus." Bulletin of the Center for Childrens Books (starred review) "Rhythmic, declarative sentences and stripped-down characterizations and settings let the creative process and its rewards shineand, via the artists spattering, splattering hues, bring new meaning to the term 'flying colors.' Publishers Weekly "Izzys happiness at creating something of his own and the simple but lively text make for a delightful and engaging read-aloud.A charming stroll through the imagination and a testament to the joys of creativity."
