Marguerite Makes a Book

FROM SARAH:

One of my very favorite books on this list. It shows the step-by-step process of making illuminations during the middle ages, as seen by a young girl named Marguerite. This one is a joy to read aloud!

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

Paris in the 1400s. A young girl named Marguerite delights in assisting her father, Jacques, in his craft: illuminating manuscripts for the nobility of France. His current commission is a splendid book of hours for his patron, Lady Isabelle, but will he be able to finish it in time?
