本書描寫畫家 Horace Pippin 的真實人生。十九世紀末的童年時期，他便沉浸於繪畫的觸感與觀察，無論是替家人、同學，或日後的同事作畫，畫畫始終是他理解世界的方式。第一次世界大戰期間，他在戰壕中持續素描，直到一場意外讓他失去右臂的行動能力，也彷彿失去了創作的可能。然而，憑著反覆練習與耐心，他一步步重新舉起畫筆，再次投入創作，並逐漸受到關注，作品進入美國各地的畫廊與美術館。作者 Jen Bryant 以平實文字鋪陳這段歷程，插畫家 Melissa Sweet 則以拼貼與線條交織出藝術的生命力。本書榮獲 Robert F. Sibert Honor Book、Schneider Family Book Award、NCTE Orbis Pictus Award 等多項肯定。A Robert F.
