Editorial Review

“This is a beautifully written and illustrated nonfiction picture book for older elementary students. Marcel Marceau knew from the age of 5 that he wanted to be a silent actor like Charlie Chaplin. Marcel never lost sight of his dream, performing on stage for over 60 years and creating a school for mimes. Marcel Marceau’s story is one of courage, inspiration, and triumph. The watercolor and pencil illustrations help to bring this heartfelt story to life. In spite of its narrow focus, this picture book could easily be used in art and social studies classes.” —Library Media Connection
