Monet Paints a Day

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Caitlin Heimerl. Based on a true event, Danneberg weaves a story about Claude Monet painting on a rocky beach. Like the artist's style, the lyrical text is loose and impressionistic, but it's supported by caption boxes with biographical and historical facts. Heimerl's watercolors successfully mimic Impressionist paintings. An author's note provides more background, and back matter on technique further relates Monet's skills and processes. Bib.
