Bookroo's summary
In turn-of-the-century France, Danielle's whimsical art is her passion, but her father's illness forces her to confront harsh realities. Can her creativity sustain them, or will practicality prevail? As she navigates this personal crisis, Danielle must decide if her art can be more than just a dream. Will her unique vision find a place in a world that demands conformity, or will she be forced to abandon her passion for survival? The stakes are high as Danielle's future hangs in the balance, challenging her to redefine what it means to be an artist.
From the publisher
Warned by her practical father that her fanciful art style may not be a good source of income in turn-of-the-century France, young Danielle finds her skills put to the test when her father falls ill.
