- Reading
- Pause at the illustrations and invite your child to notice their texture, colours and details. Afterwards, the author’s note can help distinguish the book’s poetic storytelling from its more factual biographical information.
- Themes
- Memory, family and artistic inspiration: The story connects Louise’s childhood relationship with her mother and the family weaving business to the inspiration for her art. The book presents this mainly as information or explanation.
- Worth knowing
- Bourgeois’s mother dies when she is young, and the book relates this loss to the life she builds afterwards.
