This book was written in prison at one of the lowest times of my
life. It is a book of sorrow triumphs and tragedies from the depths
of my heart and the recesses of my soul. The majority are in poems
that came to mind at that time.The beginning of the story is about
the fragment of a man who threw his life away hiding in the
confines of his mind under the tragedies of addictions.
A little girl makes up all kinds of excuses not to go to bed. But
what if they’re not excuses…? A sweet bedtime story with a
twist at the end! When a little girl goes to bed, she finds a
rather big problem – there’s a cow in her bed! When her father
goes to her room, the cow has gone and her father tells her to go
to sleep. Later on that night, the cow comes back, together with a
card-playing duck and a counting elephant! Is the little girl just
stalling? Either way, it looks like no one is getting much sleep
tonight!
When a young girl meets the famous Claude Monet in his garden at
Giverny, she learns the importance of staying true to your own
vision. This intriguing child's-eye view of Monet and the
development of impressionism takes as its premise how artists
flocked to Giverny at the turn of the 20th century to study the
painter's technique. It tells the story of Ella, the daughter of
one such artist, who sneaks into Monet's garden, and develops a
friendship with him. As Ella sketches, Monet talks about his life,
career, and his technique. And he explains the idea of
Impressionism in a way that will make children not only understand
the genre, but also want to imitate it themselves. Monika
Vaicenaviciene's subtly colored and dreamily delicate illustrations
strike the perfect note as they reflect Ella's interpretation of
Monet's beautiful garden. Readers will learn about important
moments in Monet's life, including his struggles with critics and
his own self-doubt, while also appreciating the easy comradery
between a wise and experienced artist and a young, opinionated yet
impressionable painter. The book ends with a brief biography of
Monet in timeline form and information about impressionism as well
as Giverny and museums that feature Monet's work.
