What reviewers said
"An inspiring picture book aimed at ages four to eight, but with a message for all ages."
"It's eminently challenging to distill an entire life into a picture book. . . Soloy's illustrations rise to the occasion, emulating the naïve style and cheery palette of Lewis' art, while highlighting key moments in Stinson's tight narrative. . . In a word: beautiful."
"Anyone who's faced a challenge—that's everyone!—will appreciate Maud's tenacity and Soloy's lively art that bursts with color. . . A great choice for biography and art shelves."
"A touching and uplifting tribute, this book emphasizes the importance of finding beauty in the everyday and persevering through life's challenges."
"Imaginatively illustrated and beautifully written, this offbeat ode to the power of music is a winner."
"The art bursts forth, creating a stunning visual expression of Stinson's text."
