Phumiruk's use of perspective is often striking. . . Harvey's text makes thoughtful, relatable connections between Lin's work and the themes of her life.--The Horn Book, starred review

The clean lines in Phumiruk's deliberately sparse, light-infused spreads and the placement of slender, pillar like passages of text reinforce the breathtaking beauty of Lin's sleek landmark. With a closing author'snote detailing Lin's motivations for projects past and present, this is an artful resource for dreamers of all ages.-Booklist

Quietly inspiring . . . The simple yet lyrical narrative flows effortlessly . . . an ideal choice to pair with STEAM-related activities. The soft color palette of the digital illustrations provides a complementary backdrop to the words, and Phumiruk ably conveys Lin's determination.--School Library Journal

Phumiruk's clean-lined, crisp illustrations, done in Photoshop, and light palette emphasize connections between Lin's concepts and the strong influences of nature on Lin's art. . . A fine celebration of a renowned woman artist.--Kirkus Reviews

Textual and visual sparseness that echoes Lin's minimalist style.-Publishers Weekly
