Grant Wood believed that to be a real artist, he had to live in
Paris. But once he got there, he realized that to be a great
painter he needed to return to the people and places—and even
animals—that he knew and loved the best. Inspired by the life of
artist Grant Wood, this is the sensitively imagined story of the
great American painter and a cow named Tillie. Skillfully mixing
fact with fiction, Monica Kulling’s text explores the making of
an artist, while Sydney Smith’s illustrations echo Grant Wood’s
own techniques. The result is a gently wise picture book that will
encourage young readers and artists to trust the love that is
sometimes only found close to home. Includes an author’s note
that provides biographical information about Grant Wood.
