When she joined the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, she took the name Corita--meaning \u003ci\u003elittle heart\u003c\/i\u003e--and devoted her life to what mattered most to her: art and religion. As an art teacher, Sister Corita emphasized practice and process over the final product and taught her students to experiment and break the rules. As a religious person, she turned her faith into concrete action and spoke out about the injustices she saw in the world. In the height of post-war consumerist culture, Corita, a contemporary of Andy Warhol, turned advertising on its head and wrote a new kind of scripture. Complimented by Victoria Tentler-Krylov's vibrant illustrations that--like Corita's work--incorporate typography and ads, author Dan Paley paints a portrait of the little-known but immensely influential pop-art nun whose messages are just as relevant today as they were in years past.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDan Paley\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eThey Hold the Line: Wildfires, Wildlands, and the Firefighters Who Brave Them\u003c\/i\u003e, illustrated by Molly Mendoza; \u003ci\u003eLuigi and the Barefoot Races\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eillustrated by Aaron Boyd\u003ci\u003e; \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eRubio and Julienne\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eillustrated by Lauren Gallegos.
