This book was a lovely look at a very talented young girl
and her family. Told from the viewpoint
of her mother, we are taken into this family’s home and given a glimpse of what
their lives was like and how Akiane’s talent was allowed to progress and be
nurtured. This family is a lot like any
family, with good times and bad times, sickness and financial problems. I really think it was great that Akiane’s mom
held back her mommy impulses of getting angry, especially when her daughter was
making such a mess in creating her art.
I am glad she saw such talent in her daughter even though I was cringing
myself as I read those parts. Akiane has
a very artistic nature and her mother really showed that in her writing of how her
young daughter would act and think. This
is not only this family’s journey but it is a lovely book containing many of
Akiane’s paintings and her poetry that goes along with it. I look forward to seeing how her talent will grow
as she becomes a young woman. I was
given this book for an honest review from The Book Club Network, Inc. (TBCN)
and the opinions are my own.
