(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Melissa Sweet & Melissa Sweet. Presented as a journal-sketchbook (with reproductions of actual paintings added), this companion to Charlotte in Giverny continues the story of an American family living in France in the 1890s while Charlotte's painter father is learning the Impressionist style. The journal format cleverly allows for a voyeuristic glimpse at the lives of artists and whets the appetite for more information.

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.
