Runt 1900-talet samlades många målare hos Claude Monet i Giverny för att studera hans måleri. En dotter till en av målarna smiter in i Monets trädgård och tänk, där träffar hon självaste Monet. De utvecklar en vänskap och medan flickan Ella skissar pratar Monet om sitt liv och sin konst. En mysig introduktion till Monet och den inspirerande impressionismen. Illustrationerna är gjorda av Monika Vaicenaviciene, (Vad är en flod?) som bland annat belönats med Premio Andersen Award och World Illustration Awards (i kategorierna New Talent Children s books och Overall Winner)

This intriguing child's-eye view of Monet and the development of impressionism takes as its premise how artists flocked to Giverny at the turn of the 20th century to study the painter's technique. It tells the story of Ella, the daughter of one such artist, who sneaks into Monet's garden, and develops a friendship with him. As Ella sketches, Monet talks about his life, career, and his technique. And he explains the idea of Impressionism in a way that will make children not only understand the genre, but also want to imitate it themselves. Monika Vaicenaviciene's subtly colored and dreamily delicate illustrations strike the perfect note as they reflect Ella's interpretation of Monet's beautiful garden. Readers will learn about important moments in Monet's life, including his struggles with critics and his own self-doubt, while also appreciating the easy comradery between a wise and experienced artist and a young, opinionated yet impressionable painter. The book ends with a brief biography of Monet in timeline form and information about impressionism as well as Giverny and museums that feature Monet's work.
