The artwork done by this 10 year old child is nothing short of miraculous. The book not only shows you her artwork but tells the story behind it: what she was thinking of, how old she was at the time and what materials. The book is definitely worth getting. The pictures are good enough to be framed. What really hit me was how this young girl (who came from an atheist family, was homeschooled, no television and no outside influences) discovered God and was given the incredible gift of art. You have to see it to believe it. She was featured on Oprah but didn't get enough chance to talk about the reason she draws and paints. I love this book.
