A Colorful Tail

By Joan Waites

Now Available
Providing a delightful introduction to Claude Monet, this brightly illustrated story follows a young fox who learns to capture nature's beauty with some guidance from the famous artist.

Featuring lush illustrations that pay homage to artist Claude Monet's work and depict his garden in Giverny, France, this charming story imagines a relationship between the famous painter and the fox who lives in his garden.

The young red fox admires the collage of colors in the landscape that surrounds him. More than anything, he wants to make the colors last as the seasons pass and the winter turns cold and bleak. Try as he might, his creations are blown away, flooded, and even eaten by a deer, until the sight of Monet at his easel and an unexpected encounter with a bumble bee show the gentle fox how he can make the colors last all year long.
