She observes people, religions, and customs in witty but respectful ways, and as in <i>Chicken Soup, Boots </i>(1993), beneath all the silliness lurk important ideas, thoughtfully expressed." --<i>Kirkus Reviews</i>, starred review <p/>"[Kalman's] witty, free-association writing style is enhanced to maximum effect by the varied, cleverly employed typography. A perfect union of place and palette, of dharma, (dog)ma and unsurpassed cosmological kookiness." --<i>Publishers Weekly</i>, starred review<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Maira Kalman </b>is an illustrator, author, and designer.
