Words by Matthew Burgess | Published by Enchanted Lion Books
Corita Kent lived a remarkable life as an artist, educator, nun, and activist. Unapologetically holding true to herself and her beliefs, Corita spread a powerful message of love, hope, and justice as an artist and educator.
This timely picture-book biography will draw readers into the life of a singular woman whose work and commitment invite us all to seek joy in the everyday, to observe the world with fresh eyes, to see beyond what is and imagine all that could be.

“The lively, brightly colored illustrations feature occasional photo collage elements and incorporate a vivid blue bird as a symbol of Corita and her artistic spirit . . . Delightful. Plork!”
“Kramer has succeeded where so many other art biography illustrators fail; her work perfectly captures the playfulness, vibrancy, and deepness of Kent’s work but does not compete with it.”
“Kramer’s illustrations do an excellent job of evoking Kent’s style, with bright colors, blocky shapes, and text included in just about every spread.”
