The Book
Unwrapping Some Illustrations for You
This story is inspired by one called "White Currants" written by Emily Carr herself. The book highlights Emily's childhood. The author creates a flashback snippet of young Emily taking a romp through the garden. She loves to steal away by herself and breathe in the sights, sounds and colours of beautiful nature. In these adventures she feels small, so small that she can blend in with leaves and plants and her surroundings becoming one with them. Small becomes untamed, powerful, and curious which enables her to do magical things in her magical world. She loves to absorb these wonders then take them back to write and paint so others can share her wonderment too.
This book gives a glimpse into the very heart of Emily Carr and reveals her passion for self-expression and her love of the natural world around her. Unlocking her freedom brings much joy and happiness not only to herself but to others as well through her creative skills. The illustrations from her imaginary world are expressive and rich and strongly driving the narrative. This is a lovely introduction to Emily Carr and the profound contributions she has made to the artistic world. I highly recommend it.
