Gleam and Glow

"One can't help respecting Bunting for the sensitivity she brings to issues like war, poverty, race and immigration; while pushing the boundaries of what is suitable subject matter for children, she is careful to mitigate the grimness with an element of hope. As usual, her text is paired with outstanding art, here beautiful oil paintings by Peter Sylvada that soften--arguably too much so--the harshness of displacement."Bunting, Eve is the author of 'Gleam and Glow', published 2001 under ISBN 9780152025960 and ISBN 0152025960.
