Reviews
"'Life is Beautiful' is a beautifully rendered book. The illustrations are imaginatively rendered in brilliant hues of oranges, blues and purples. And the idea of a winged giraffe showing Violet the world around her is creative and intriguing." --Cracking the Cover
"Uy's stylized oil paintings of landscapes bathed in orange and red radiate warmth." --Linda Ludke, London Public Library, Ontario, Canada, 2013
