This is a young reader's artful interpretation of the Crystal Lake scene in Can You See ME Now?
I love the detail: snow-capped mountains, fluffy clouds, water, tiny flowers and plants, AND the rainbow.
Thanks, Tori. I hope you continue to use your art in whatever profession you decide to pursue--book illustrator maybe?

BOOK REVIEW:
Bernal has succeeded in crafting a story that acknowledges tragedy without wallowing in it, placing her emphasis on resilience and personal growth. The quick pace and distinctive characters make for a smooth, well-crafted read.
Middle-grade readers should respond to this tender story of learning to connect with others through open eyes and an open heart. -- Kirkus Reviews
