Paisley’s Last Quill,” by Deborah Weed, a beautifully illustrated and impactful tale, deftly addresses the importance of self worth; an under-served topic especially pertinent to the lives of young readers. The author’s original artwork is lush and engaging with colors that are sure to delight young eyes. A juxtaposition of crisp lines and impressionist atmosphere lends depth not found in many picture books. A clever narrative and fanciful bestiary of appealing characters are sure to draw the reader into a wonderful and timely story.

I loved this book for its amazing imaginative artwork that virtually told the story of Paisley and her quest to be a fashion designer. Paisley’s story of never losing sight of her dream despite Zavannah- that quintessential naysayer- quashing her opportunity and self-esteem. What a brilliant role-model Paisley is for any young lady struggling with self worth in pursuing her dreams! With the amazing artwork, I can only imagine it as a movie!

Deborah Weed’s vivid imagination and immense passion for everyone - young girls in particular - recognizing their true self-worth, has gifted us Paisley’s Last Quill. The familiar themes - of bullies using intimidation to give themselves a sense of worth, the heroine’s struggle against all odds and the ultimate triumph of the underdog - are uniquely woven into Paisley’s adventures via Deborah’s beautifully expressive illustrations. Paisley, the terror of her nemesis and the pure love of her friends, all capture the imagination of the young and old alike. Deborah’s vibrant illustrations are not just pretty enhancements to Paisley’s story. They each hold a story of their own, inviting readers to delve into varied themes of arrogance vs. self-pride, separation vs. cooperation, conviction vs. despair, to name just a few. Paisley’s Last Quill holds the promise of capturing the imagination of world-wide audiences and becoming a byword for young girls being taught to achieve their fullest potential.
