(3) K-3 Illustrated by Sydney Smith. As a young man, painter Grant Wood leaves the family farm--and his beloved cow, Tillie--for the artistic rigors of Paris. Homesick, he returns and creates the work for which he is best known: American Gothic. Kulling fictionalizes Wood's story (e.g., she made up Tillie) in a child-friendly way. Smith's illustrations--using watercolors, ink, and a toothbrush--have a pleasingly pastoral, mottled look.
