A review by ljrinaldi
Elisabeth and the Box of Colours by Katherine Woodfine
4.0
Based on the true life of artist Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun, famous for her portraits, in later life.
But in this case, it is her childhood, where she is sent to away to a boarding school that doesn't want her to draw, or paint, or have any color at all, so she must add her own.
She tries to be good, and adhere to the rules, until her father dies, and she just has to put color back into the world.
Sweet story, and hopefully will get children interested in Elisabeth and her art.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
