"When I finished this novel, I knew I would be haunted and empowered by Artemisia Gentileschi's story for the rest of my life."--Amanda Lovelace, bestselling author of the princess saves herself in this one A William C. Morris Debut Award Finalist2018 National Book Award Longlist Her mother died when she was twelve, and suddenly Artemisia Gentileschi had a stark choice: a life as a nun in a convent or a life grinding pigment for her father's paint. She chose paint. By the time she was seventeen, Artemisia did more than grind pigment. She was one of Rome's most talented painters, even if no one knew her name. But Rome in 1610 was a city where men took what they wanted from women, and in the aftermath of rape Artemisia faced another terrible choice: a life of silence or a life of truth, no matter the cost. He will not consume
my every thought.
I am a painter.
I will paint. Joy McCullough's bold novel in verse is a portrait of an artist as a young woman, filled with the soaring highs of creative inspiration and the devastating setbacks of a system built to break her. McCullough weaves Artemisia's heartbreaking story with the stories of the ancient heroines, Susanna and Judith, who become not only the subjects of two of Artemisia's most famous paintings but sources of strength as she battles to paint a woman's timeless truth in the face of unspeakable and all-too-familiar violence. I will show you

Good, cute talking book. Good audio
Format: Board book
This little book has pretty good audio and has lasted quite awhile. The story is cute, my little dude liked it, and it was well made. Thick board book so it's perfect for little hands.
(Amazon VIne people, please accept me into your ranks. I know this review wasn't as good, but IDK what else to really write, I got this for my nephew for Easter I think two years ago and it was destroyed after awhile intentionally. I don't have the greatest memory of it, but we kept the speaker part after because he liked it before we finally just got rid of it while cleaning...sorry lil dude if you ever come across this review, I'll get you a new one if you're that passionate about it)

Great for small kids
Format: Board book
Love this book. Easy for the kids to turn the cardboard pages, and the sound buttons are easy to push. Bought for my 2 year old grandson’s birthday, but 3 year old cousin keeps trying to steal it.
