This is a beautiful book both through the use of story and illustration. It tells of a young girl who travels to Paris and Giverny to see Monet's garden. Seeing Monet, his family, and garden through the eyes of a child brings it to life in a way that will brighten every child or parent who opens this book. The pictures are fabulous and the story endearing.
