Ten year old Noonie Norton is an artist just waiting to be discovered. Shes sure of it. But no one else understands her. Not her Aunt Sylvia or Uncle Ralph. Not her math teacher Mrs. Tusk or Principal Maloney. Perhaps the only people who can glimpse Noonies creative potential are her art teacher Ms. Lilly and her best friend Reno. Noonies mother died five years ago, and now Noonies father is in faraway China examining fossilized wild yak bones. But Noonie feels a strong bond with her artistic
This was such an artistic children's book. I learned things about artists I would have never known otherwise. It was educational and emotional and fun all wrapped up into one book. Little Noonie, who's mom has died and father is a traveling archeologist, is a wonderful artist. She has a blue period and a purple period and even a polka dotted period. All Noonie really wants is for her dad to come home and take her with him, but of course it would be too dangerous and she has school to think
i love this book!!! i intend on reading this book at least 10 more times. thank you lisa railsback for writing this book!
Sarajo Frieden is my sister! She emailed me the Noonie manuscript ages ago; initially she was asked to do a bare minimum of illustrating, but the project grew over time. Doodles morphed to black and white drawings and later she was asked to add color. When I finally had the book in hand, I emailed my sister: I'm in love with Noonie - everything about it. Feel as if I'm inhaling it. Am thrilled with each detail that I notice. Just too fabulous for words. Want to read it, but don't want this first
"And I just like to believe...that artists have the power to change the world." Ms. Lilly, Noonie's Masterpiece, P. 93 If Lisa Railsback keeps up this kind of writing for much longer, she's going to end up becoming one of my favorite authors. Filled with the same spirit of personal independence in the face of past sadness that buoyed Betti on the High Wire, Noonie's Masterpiece is a wonderfully imaginative, playfully funny story about a budding ten-year-old artist named Noonie, who lives apart
Like this almost as much as Betti on the High Wire. Hope she writes more. I think is skews too young for SPoT-MS though.
