The writer Carlene Sobrino Bonnivier received her copy of my Magical Years: Memories & Sketches, and she wrote back:
“Oh, Cecilia — I love your book. You DO capture the luminosity of childhood, something that I personally feel so strongly, and strive over and over to share with the rest of the world through my stories. Here you reveal it so sweetly. Thank you very much… If this seems childlike, it is, and you brought it out. Really wonderful, Cecilia.”

Praise for Magical Years: Memories & Sketches
“ ‘Magic’ is the key word in the art of Cecilia Manguerra Brainard. Every drawing transports you to a different world and a different time, and you cannot ever come back unchanged.” ~ Tony Perez, Playwright, Novelist, & Painter
“Drawings are often ignored as being mere steps to painting, but with Cecilia Brainard you take them on their own — as visual notes, windows to memory and history.” ~ Ambeth R. Ocampo, Historian
