Abrams Books for Young Readers
"A harmonious picture book whose poetic text and delicate illustrations befit its subject."―Kirkus Reviews
"Created with sweeping lines, repeated shapes, and deep, soft colors, Stacey’s graceful illustrations reflect elements of Morris’ artistic work as well as his affinity for nature. A lovely book introducing a notable Englishman whose life and work are unfamiliar to most American children."―Booklist
"Replete with lovely artwork by Melodie Stacey, 'Beautiful Useful Things: What William Morris Made' by Beth Kephart's beautifully scripted prose is a delightfully informative and entertaining picture book biography."―Midwest Book Review
"A volume about considering beauty that is itself beautiful, and restful, too."―Publishers Weekly
