Brother Theophane was soon transferred from the scribe's room and assigned to make the ink that the brothers used. With his natural curiosity, Theophane discovered that inks could be made from other plants besides the wood bark. Berries and leaves produced other beautiful colors. And soon, the books the monks made were illuminated with colors and drawings. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eC.M. Millen's charming story of a young monk who defied the discipline of the monastery and found his own way to express the beauty of the world will inspire young readers to explore their own world and find their own voices. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAndrea Wisnewski's illustrations, inspired by the illuminated letters that the medieval monks created in books like the Book of Kells, bring to life the colors and beauty that surrounded Brother Theophane amidst the plain world of the monastery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Charlesbridge Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781580891790\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.36h x 9.10w x 0.41d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Connecticut Book Awards - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2011 pg. 39\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/15\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/05\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2010 pg. 60\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2010 pg. 81\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e139149 \/ Ink Garden of Brother Theophane\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 6 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"C.
