Rosa is the youngest child of a magical illuminating family whose artworks can do things like keep mice from the pantry, clean water and create magical bandages. Rosa, bored one day, goes hunting in the family basement and uncovers some family history.

Very much a children's book but wonderful all the same! Audiobook was well produced and I laughed out loud at points. An easy listen that wasn't too taxing plot wise and felt like a warm hug.

I admit I was pretty annoyed that for over half the book, the main issue was lack of communication. however, after that, I did love it. the friendship and family and love of art were so sweet. I also realize that I apparently have a soft spot for art that comes alive, bc one of my all time favorite books is the rithmatist by brandon sanderson. so I had a lot of fun at the end
