Melissa Sweet.
When her family travels to France so her father can paint in Giverny, a young girl keeps a journal of her first year living abroad. Along the way, readers learn about Impressionism and the lives of artists. Childlike watercolors (supposedly by Charlotte) are accompanied by snapshots, ticket stubs, and reproductions of paintings by Americans at Giverny. Short biographical notes about the artists appear at the end of the book.
