Virginia Lee Burton: A Life in Art

This was an interesting and absorbing biography of a woman I always thought of as a children's book illustrator. She was also a fabric designer and a studio artist who ran very successful business, not to mention a well-loved wife and mother. I liked this bio, which was well-written, but ultimately I found it too shallow. It's a lovely overview, but it certainly left this reader wanting much, much more.

This book was very well written and I learned a lot. I also liked the illustrations, which complemented her work.
