In Wallner's latest picture book portrait, we are introduced to a hard-working New York farm girl named Anna Mary Robinson. Years later, after her husband died, sixty-seven-year-old Anna Mary finally found time to create her now-famous nostalgic landscapes. Wallner's style is suited to her subject: sedate, carefully composed watercolors scenes with backgrounds that could have been painted by Grandma Moses herself.
