I Paint My World illustrated by Susan Gal and written by Esther Novak is a gentle story about how we respond to events in the world around us, a young child discovers that his feelings can color the way he experiences everyday ups and downs.
A Starred review from Publisher’s Weekly and School Library Journal’s review both commend Gal’s art. “Vibrant illustrations bring this concept vividly to life. The art, rendered in acrylic, watercolor, pencil, and ink, is bold with expressive brushstrokes; full of motion and expression, each scene reflects the tone of the season and mirrors the child’s changing perceptions.” – School Library Journal
