Reviews
Kirkus Review US:Lucy's grandfather is coming to visit and she wants to make him a picture. No painted picture could ever be good enough; she wants to show him how special he is by creating a one-of-a-kind collage from her kindergarten scrapbox, foregoing recess to gather materials. A curvy mound of hills, a lake surrounded by clumps of flowered material, and a dog made furry by Lucy's own hair complete this tactile expression of love, which her blind grandfather "sees" with his fingers. Lucy's easy acceptance of her grandfather's special needs and her enthusiastic labors will warm the hearts of all; Ayliffe uses bold forms, cut-outs, strong lines, and crayon-bright colors to convey the ebullient scenes and the small girl's zeal.
