Mirette on the High Wire by Emily Arnold McCully
5.0
Amazing. Stunning. I can't praise this book enough.
The story was wonderful - little girl sets her mind to something, dedicates herself to it, makes sacrifices to succeed and eventually figures it out. Unwillingly retired superstar steps into a mentorship role and gets his act together.
The pictures were breathtaking - gorgeous watercolors that really made the story. I could picture even the things that were happening between the pages because the world was so well detailed!
And the picture on the next-to-last page, of Mirette walking to a kneeling Bellini, was just captivating. I would buy a print of that just to hang on my wall!
