Celebrating its 25th anniversary with a new printing in the U.S. is the delightful classic Linnea in Monet’s Garden. Those familiar with this complex picture book will be happy to hear that the new printing is slightly larger in size than the original, but the vibrant colors and joyful spirit remain the same.
If you’ve never had the chance to read this book with a child, or as a child yourself when it was published the first time, now is the perfect opportunity to learn all about Claude Monet’s life and works alongside the joyful character of Linnea as she travels to Paris and then Giverny to see first-hand some of Monet’s most beloved paintings and his pink house with the Japanese bridge over the lily pond.
