This book, which is newly published, is a fantastic read! When I was passing through the Curriculum lab one day, I saw it featured in the "new" section. I spotted it because of the dramatic cover, which consists of an illustrated portrait of Eleanor. It didn't have any words written on the cover, just the illustration. Rappaport definitely got her point across with this tactic; she was making a powerful statement and went about it in a successful way. With the fantastic illustrations and awe-inspiring quotes that fill every single page, it was impossible to put the book down. There was a perfect amount of text which nicely complimented the illustrations and quotes. This book was so impressive that I am going to be on the look out for other works by Rappaport!
Here are two of the quotes from Eleanor that I found to be the most captivating:
"Do something everyday that scares you."
"Do what you feel in your heart to be right--for you'll be criticized anyway."
Simply put..but great advice!
