A unique introduction to a very powerful American Artist.

When Grandma Moses looks out her window,
she sees a world of spotted cows,
a world of thunderstorms, rain-drenched fields,
and hand-washed laundry flapping within the wind.

Beginning within the spring — full of thunderstorms and scenes of laundry flapping within the wind — Nikola-Lisa’s lyrical text captures the seasons on a farm and highlights the simple yet wonderful moments depicted in Grandma Moses’s folk art paintings. The experience is made the entire more intimate by Grandma Moses’s journal excerpts, which give readers a first-hand have a look at what inspired the artist.
