Signs of Hope: The Revolutionary Art of Sister Corita Kent (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781419752216)

Signs of Hope is a picture book biography of groundbreaking artist, teacher, and Catholic nun Corita Kent from critically acclaimed author Mara Rockliff, with stunning full-color art from Caldecott Honor winner Melissa Sweet.

Let Corita teach you how to see the world in a whole new way!

Sister Corita Kent, the "pop art nun," burst onto the 1960s art scene with splashes of color and ad slogans transformed into messages of love, hope, peace, and justice. The art world would never be the same--and neither would the young people whose lives she changed.

Join Corita's students as they learn how to look at the world around them through an artist's eyes. With Corita, work is play, imagination means adventure, and there is no line between life and art.

Told with joy and energy by award-winning author Mara Rockliff and spectacularly illustrated by two-time Caldecott Honor winner Melissa Sweet, Signs of Hope brings a revolutionary artist's teachings--still fresh, still inspiring--to a new generation. As Corita told her students, "Be ready to see what you haven't seen before!"
