Reviews

"What, exactly, does it take to be a great artist? ... as Gravel gracefully demonstrates, it actually can (and should be!) a lot of fun."--School Library Journal"A bright, colorful and quirky paean to drawing, imagination, and creativity."--NPR"If Found... Please Return to Elise Gravel... feels like accidentally uncovering the greatest (and silliest) sketchbook of all."--The Hollywood Reporter"[If Found] offers a kind of evangelism for the joy of drawing, as expressed through tons of Gravel's silly, colorful critters... Make ugly drawings. Make stupid drawings. Make a lot of drawings, and make them for yourself."--Paste"A rare mix of wackiness and savvy counsel--just right for getting the creative juices flowing."--Kirkus Reviews"A valuable message for adult artists that want to achieve a more liberated state of mind..."--The AV Club

"This fascinating, quirky and liberating glimpse into the creative process will inspire budding artists and daydreaming doodlers alike."--National Reading Campaign

"Elise Gravel invites the reader in to the world of her little black notebook. In it are creatures and places familiar and imaginary, in a style that embodies quirkiness, whimsy, and humor ... an open-hearted drawing prompt for kids, or adults, who want to draw more."--Youth Services Book Review
