This book was wonderful. The pencil art done by Brian Selznick was fabulous! Especially the landscapes! In fact, there are a couple I could see doing as full-wall murals. (The clouds/airplane or the cherry blossoms in D.C.) I looked him up but didn't see anything else in this style, but was surprised to learn we own several other books he's illustrated. I highly recommend this book. The story is pleasant and it makes two very famous, influential women seem approachable but the art definitely makes it worth a look IMHO.
