“For the first time, he painted what he heard!”
In the classroom, this book can link to lessons about creativity, self-expression, and the importance of following one‘s passions, encouraging students to explore their own artistic abilities.
pickThis book was published in 2014 and is a picture book that falls under the genre of children's nonfiction. It tells the inspiring story of Vasily Kandinsky, a pioneer of abstract art, who discovered the magical connection between color and sound through his unique paint box. This book received the 2015 Caldecott Honor.

“Some people standby you in your darkest hour while others walk away; only a select few march towards you and become even closer friends.”
pickHell yes. Exactly what I didn't quite realize I always wanted, the tale of the Trojan War told in events that precipitated it, and events that happened as result/consequences after it ended, all through the perspectives of various female characters, goddesses, nymphs, princesses, priestesses, mothers and daughters, many now enslaved.

pickLike others here, I wanted to read more from Davies after Clear. I liked this one, a novel of obsession, the expansiveness of men‘s lives and the rapid narrowing of girls‘s as they become women. The ending is a tad preposterous but I liked it.
pickI‘m sad this trilogy is over. I loved North‘s reimagining of the Odyssey. I loved that this book extends beyond the end of the Odyssey as well.
The characters were great too. Leartes was hilarious. I love that his signature move is to try to chop the other swordsman‘s fingers off 🤣 Absolutely perfect for the father of Odysseus…
