Linnea has visited Claude Monet's garden! In Paris, she got to see many of his actual paintings. Now she understands what it means for a painter to be called an Impressionist. This innovative art book for children contains full-color photos of many of Monet's famous paintings.
Christina Bjork and Lena Anderson have collaborated on many acclaimed children's books. They both live in Stockholm, Sweden.
