This was a unique biography for me because I had never read about a glassblower before. It's so interesting, because glass is so fragile and the creations are so beautiful! This book has gorgeous illustrations that use the same kinds of colors I've seen at glassblowing shops. I highly recommend this so kids can learn about this unusual skill by a remarkable person. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this.

"A Flash of Color and Light" is a fantastic biography of Dale Chihuly, perfect for kids! 🌈 The illustrations are stunning watercolor designs that beautifully complement Chihuly's art and style. 🎨

It's packed with history about Chihuly and glassblowing, making it detailed for a picture book. 📚 I wondered if most kids would stay engaged, but the breathtaking illustrations are sure to captivate them! 😲

This picture book biography not only has gorgeous artwork but also shares the story of Chihuly's life and achievements in the art world. 🌟 The author even explains the science behind glassblowing and Chihuly's techniques in a clear and engaging way. 🔍

Perfect for elementary-aged kids and beyond, this book is a must-read for budding artists and curious minds alike! 👧👦📖

This is, overall, a very engaging book about an art form that has been too little covered in children's biographical literature. Even so, I lament that it occasionally changes tense - from past to present - at peculiar moments and does not define "centrifugal force" in the glossary except in relation to glassblowing. It is presumed that the reader is already familiar with the physical concept of centrifugal force.

This picture book biography has beautiful illustrations, and it tells the story of Dale Chihuly's life and accomplishments in the art world. The author introduces some of the science behind glassblowing, and explains some of Chihuly's techniques very clearly. I would recommend this for elementary-aged kids and up.

A Flash of Color and Light is a wonderful biography of Dale Chihuly's life for children. The illustrations are gorgeous watercolor designs that perfectly accent the Chihuly's art and style.

I learned a lot of history about Dale Chihuly, and glassblowing in general. It was very detailed for a picture book, and I did wonder if most kiddos would have the attention span to learn that much about Chihuly. However, the illustrations were breathtaking and are sure to keep them engaged.

Thanks to Sharon Mentyka, NetGalley, and Sasquatch Book for the chance to review this one!

I have read the Sue Bird book from this same series but this blows that one away. Dale Chihuly's life is fascinating and as a Tacoma resident, I am thrilled to read about him in the form of a picture book I can share with my students!

The illustrations in this book are spell binding and the writing is well done and charming.

I cannot wait to add this to my library, I wish it were released sooner than October and I plan on nominating it as a Washington Towner Award book for students in grades 2-6.

Thank you to NetGalley, Sasquatch Books, and Little Big Foot for the eARC! I hope this book is as beautiful in print!

Wow what a journey it is. This book gives out the story of a glass blower artist that is inspiring to kids. It's a bit long for kids 5 to 7 if they're the one who will read it, but is so rewarding once you finish it. Every part of the artist is presented here to show his struggle and triumph. One thing that stand out in this which I didn't expect is the lesson on team work. Well that's just part of the story. The art is superb, colorful and eye candy for kids.

This is a wonderful book that would introduce older children to a different art medium. They wouldn't be able to actually make glass flowers, but it might stir something inside. Meanwhile I do hope that paper flower making by schoolchildren is still practiced. This book starts with the artist as a little boy and follows him through to finding of his love for glass. it tells of his courage when he loses those dear to him and also when he has an accident that would set most people back. I have seen Dale Chihuly's work at his Garden and Glass Museum in Seattle and it is breathtaking. I thank NetGalley and Sasquatch books for the advance read!

I absolutely loved this book about Dale Chihuly's life!! The use of color was fantastic throughout the book and explained a lot about how blown glass is made. It was beautiful to look at and interesting to read.
