Description
xAnd I Paint It is a poetic picture-book biography about artist N.C. Wyeth's daughter, Henriette--a talented painter in her own right--from award-winning creators, author Beth Kephart and illustrator Amy June Bates. And I think of the girl I am and the girl I'll be:
A painter, like Pa.
An actress (maybe).
A fairy with wings. A father and daughter sneak away from their big, busy family to paint in the wild landscape. Together, they paint a lily, bright and white as a star; the green growing into the cap of a strawberry; the blue in the sky running pink. Henriette's father is N.C. Wyeth, the famous artist, who encourages her to paint what she sees, to awaken into her dreams, and she does, in this poetic picture book inspired by a famous American family of artists. "The prose is full of sensory description that captures Wyeth's observations of her world. In wide double-page spreads, Bates re-creates the lush hillsides of Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, crisscrossed with split rail fences and dotted with wildflowers." --Horn Book
