REVIEWS<\/h3>\n

“L\u00f3pez, whose career as a muralist inspired this story, loads each double spread with curves, splashes of paint and geometric shapes, changing page orientation for emphasis at times. \u00a0As Mira’s city comes alive with unforgettable human spirit. The mysterious artist sums it all up ” the world is your canvas”. An inspiring and wistful message wrapped up in a subtle, thoughtful narrative, and lively beautiful art:\u00a0<\/span>Simply superb.”<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
