(3) K-3 Tom is sent with a pie to welcome a new neighbor. The man is an artist, and the first thing Tom sees is a beautiful statue of a "naked lady." Over the following months and years, Tom begins to see the world with different eyes and think of himself as an artist. A quiet reminiscence laced with gentle humor, Wallace's story suggests the possibility of artists in all children. His watercolor and pencil illustrations reinforce and extend the story line.
