Enchanted and Enchanting

Utterly beguiling. Even the rainbow could take a lesson or two from Ms. Rich's palate which fairly spills over on every page. Who knew such colors existed?! Ms. Rich, what planet are you from? A thousand thanks for settling here and bringing your paint-brush with you.

Profusely illustrated with abstract-style color pastels

Imaginatively written and busily illustrated by Beatrice Rich, Vanessa and the Enchanted Painting is an energetic picture book story about Vanessa, a young girl and her pals Max and Paulie who step through a painting and thereby find themselves in a mystical enchanted world. Just when they fear themselves lost for good, an angel shows them the way back. Vanessa and the Enchanted Painting is recommended as being a charming picture book story profusely illustrated with abstract-style color pastels.

So Enchanted By This Angel

The author captures more than a little of the beauty in this world and gives children a visual treat as she takes them on a journey of the imagination. The illustrations are so lovely and the message profound, yet on a scale that small children can appreciate. What a wonderful bedtime story! In a world filled with scary stuff, it's a comfort to know that this beautiful angel watches over us all.

Just Enchanting!

Beatrice Rich once again takes us on a beautifully imaginative and spiritually invigorating voyage in Vanessa and the Enchanted Painting.

With her use of words and colors, Beatrice Rich inspires us all !
