Summary: This book is unbeliveable in every way.......
Review: Hi i just got this book last night as one of my graduation gifts from one of my many Aunts, she thought i would like it caues im planning on attending art school and she thought that this book would encourg me, and it has, even though i just got this book last night. I flip through the pages and i was so amazed at the drawings Mis.Engelbreit has created, she can take her own imagintion and child like expirence and make it come to life on paper.In this book It tells about her life and how she got started, It says that she started out drawing when she was 11 or younger and i belive it caues there is just to much passion in her work for it not to come from starting out in childhood. And her drawing are just mamerizing, I think every drawing she has ever made is in this one book. i mean you can look at this book for hours on end, i stayed up for hours last night just looking at the drawings alone. I think one of the reasons her art sells is becaues out of all the drawing that she has created someone can pick one and relate to it in one way or the other. This is the first book i own from her but it wont be the last. If you are looking for a sentamentle gift or just want a this wonderful book for yourself or LOVE Mary Engelbret's work and want to know about her and know how she got started then buy this book! It's worth every penny!!

Summary: An artist who never gave up on her dream!
Review: Mary Engelbreit is amazingly talented. I can truly recommend any book she has illustrated. Now you will be able to find out who she really is and how she was able to realize her dream. When she was a struggling artist, she flew to New York from St. Louis and wanted to find work as a children's book illustrator. She was turned down and was told her drawings would be better suited to greeting cards. Although she was crushed, she took the advice and literally transformed her life. Her distinctive style is quickly recognized and you find yourself drawn to her bright, whimsical and nostalgic designs. I especially love all her little quotes. You immediately feel comfortable reading anything she has written. Her writing and drawings are so cozy. "As the world gets more high-tech, it's nice to have old-fashioned stuff around." --Mary Engelbreit.

Summary: A book to pick up again and again
Review: This book was the first one of Mary's that I purchased and it made me want to have more of her wonderful volumes. When you are not feeling too great, this will cheer you up ... it has the ability to transport you back to your childhood and to happier, gentler times. The artwork is so beautiful and almost edible!

Summary: An enlightening book about an enlightening artist
Review: This is a wonderful book about an artist who seems to catch everyone's thoughts and lives on paper. Her drawings are whimsical and yet, so meaningful. It is a book that most of us can relate to. Everyone can find at least one picture that sums up their mood or the moment.
