Extraordinary Jane

Praise

Winner of the 2015 Oklahoma Book Award for Illustration 

“Extraordinary Jane…burst[s] with color and magnificence.” —The New York Times

* “This is an exceptionally polished first book. Harrison’s acrylic paintings, which blend realistic animal portraits with a charmingly old-fashioned circus setting to very funny effect, are the star of the show, but her understated storytelling and pacing are equally on the mark.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review

* “A touching, delectably illustrated circus story that applauds the underdog.” —Kirkus, starred review

* “In a world full of competition for kids to be the fastest, smartest, and best at everything, this story’s message is a worthy one.”  —School Library Journal, starred review
