Virginia Wolf is a story about a little girl named Virginia who wakes up feeling "wolfish," but whose mood is sufficiently lifted by her artistic sister Vanessa who creates a world of color and light and form she calls Bloomsberry for them in which to play together. You see a pattern here, too, of her working with writers who like to (sometimes very loosely) base their books on writers/artists. I read this chiefly because I have begun to follow the illustrator Isabelle Arsenault and have read a few of her picture books (Jane, The Fox & Me Emily Dickinson: My Letter to the World Collette's Lost Pet Louis Undercover) and I am kind of crazy for her artwork.
