When Julie’s dog disappears, she follows him into the enchanting garden of Claude Monet.

She meets the famous artist and learns how he observes flowers, water and changing sunlight before capturing them on canvas. Inspired by a real encounter, this gentle story introduces young readers to Monet, his art and the magical garden at Giverny.
