Publishers Weekly

A small white rug given to Emma as a baby becomes a kind of blank canvas that inspires her innovative drawings as she grows older. "Say's superb visual images, with the semblance of faultlessly composed photographs, make an indelible mark," wrote PW in a starred review. All ages.
