A Day of Signs and Wonders by Kit Pearson

As the shortest of Kit Pearson's chapter books, A Day of Signs and Wonders is definitely a very interesting book. The whole story takes place in one day, following the view of Emily Carr as a child. During this day, Emily goes to stay with her neighbor, and there she discovers painting. It is a beautiful and artistic book with an honest writing style.
