This is a story about a little girl who spends an afternoon with Claude Monet in the garden where he made many of his famous impressionist paintings. The little girl is based on a real girl who was the daughter of one of Monet's painter friends.
This book would be good to keep in the classroom because it will teach learners about Monet's life and contains several of his paintings. The plot of the story is somewhat cheesy, especially when the flower the little girl loses in Monet's garden in the country shows up outside of her apartment in Paris. Overall I think young readers would enjoy this story and potentially gain an understanding of impressionism through reading it.
