**STARRED REVIEW**
» The Horn Book Magazine
"Lyrical writing and fanciful scissor-cut, watercolor, and felt pen illustrations are a perfect match for this sophisticated exploration of the life and work of groundbreaking animator Charlotte “Lotte” Reiniger (1899–1981). . .Every spread offers an exceptional visual experience, regularly amplifying aspects of the narrative."
«In this strikingly designed picture-book biography, Robinson explains how Reiniger not only combined both passions but revolutionized early filmmaking. . .Blending innovative art and engineering, her story is quintessential STEAM.»
Booklist
«Reiniger’s determination inspires in this visually arresting picture book, as does the reminder that animation started with very simple tools.»
