<div>Grant Wood believed that to be a real artist, he had to live in Paris. But once he got there, he realized that to be a great painter he needed to return to the people and places — and even animals — that he knew and loved the best.<br><br>Inspired by the life of artist Grant Wood, this is the sensitively imagined story of the great American painter and a cow named Tillie. Skillfully mixing fact with fiction, Monica Kulling’s text explores the making of an artist, while Sydney Smith’s illustrations echo Grant Wood’s own techniques. The result is a gently wise pictur that will encourage young readers and artists to trust the love that is sometimes only found close to home.<br><br>Includes an author’s note that provides biographical information about Grant Wood and historical context for his European and American artistic influences.</div>
