My daughter loved the illustrations, they are so colorful and gorgeous.
I love how Georgia's mixed her love for science with art. She follows her own dreams by learning that all passions can be intertwined into one.
Of course explaining it to my 3 year old was a little difficult none the less, anything with being creative and art she enjoys.

A lovely blend of art and science, and the benefits of mixing the two.

This book is a fun look at what it's like to feel like the odd-one out in your family. It references some big vocabulary words that could be fun to discuss with children. But the book gets a little confusing toward the end, when it depends less on the words and more on visual cues, which is a little disjointed when you've been focusing your attention elsewhere during the entire story. The illustrations are beautiful but I'm not a fan of the cardstock-like paper, which made it difficult to turn the pages. Overall, I would definitely recommend this book to others.

Beautiful illustrations. I enjoyed how the story progressed and how science and art came together.

It's difficult feeling like the odd one out in a family and none more that Georgia who has science coursing through her veins rather than the artistic and creative flamboyance of the others. Whilst Georgia is inspired by Galileo, Newton and Curie, her family draw their muses from the natural world and the elements around them. Frustrated at such a divide, Georgia whisks off to her lab to discover something altogether new. In this pursuit, she finds to her surprise that the very aspects of creative endeavor that fuel her family do, in fact, fuel her own scientific investigations. In turn, she discovers that she is as equally creative as her family.
The story here is a lovely one that celebrates experimentation, values individualism whilst taking a sweet nod to the commonalities in family which may sometimes go unseen. I preferred those moments where white-space invited us to focus on character rather than the immersive full-page bleeds which were a little too much at times. Much of this, I think, is down to how much I just don't like digital illustration. For me, it feels one-step emotionally removed than other, traditional mixed-media materials. The settings were also odd and disconnected me from the story rather than heightened it but the 'story' is a strong one.

Just like Georgia's experiment, this book is Colorific! The illustrations are vibrant and stunning, and the story reminds us that art and science are not exclusive, but can often go together to create beautiful things.
