Table of ContentsReviews"""This Brazilian import is an artful tour de force."" —Stephanie Tournas, Youth Services Book Review “Griso encourages you to take inspiration from the world’s art, and to feel freedom in exploring alternative styles. It also speaks to the feeling of yearning, and of close, watchful study of a color, artwork, or line. Griso makes you want to prop up a museum stool, gaze at a medieval tapestry for hours, and set to work on observing all that you can.” —Emma Raddatz, Elsewhere Editions director" ""[Griso, the One and Only] is an artistic masterpiece introducing readers to centuries of artistic movements, while reinforcing the strengths and merits of being one’s authentic self."" — School Library Journal, starred review ""Griso may be the one and only, but he’s rendered in many different variations throughout this veritable unicorn tapestry, which demonstrates, with power and immediacy, each style’s particular way of seeing."" — Publishers Weekly ""This Brazilian import is an artful tour de force."" —Stephanie Tournas, Youth Services Book Review “Griso encourages you to take inspiration from the world’s art, and to feel freedom in exploring alternative styles.

Charcoal Boys was published by Elsewhere Editions in 2019 and was named a USBBY 2020 Outstanding International Book. And in 2022, Jo o by a Thread also received a Batchelder Honor.
