Jane Ray’s sparkling, jewel-like illustrations are the perfect match for Diane Hofmeyr’s story, part fairytale, part history, set in 13th century Venice. Daniela is the daughter of one of Venice’s famous glassmakers and to her father’s dismay she’s always glum. Desperate to cheer her up he offers a glass palace to anyone who can make her smile. Fire eaters, mask makers, trumpet players, even sausage stringers try and fail, until a young glassmaker creates a beautiful looking glass, a new invention. Seeing her gloomy face in the mirror, Daniela smiles then laughs uproariously, and soon the whole city joins in.  A satisfying story with a lesson for us all, and the scenes of Venice, people and palaces, are beautiful. ~ Andrea Reece
