Book Guide

It’s 1892 and Charlotte is bound for the famous artist colony in Giverny, France, where painters like her father are flocking to learn the new way of painting called Impressionism. Charlotte quickly becomes enchanted with France—she makes new friends, keeps a garden, learns to speak French, and even attends the wedding of Monsieur Monet’s daughter—and she records all of her colorful experiences in her journal.

Illustrated with beautiful museum reproductions and charming watercolor collages, Charlotte in Giverny also includes biographies of the featured painters. This delightful journal of a young girl's exciting year will capture readers' imaginations.
