A celebration of a beloved folk artist, and her artistic expression of
joy and beauty.
Known for her vibrant and cheerful paintings of landscapes, plants, and
animals, Maud Lewis' iconic folk art is celebrated around the world.
Despite her beautiful art, she spent much of her life living in poverty
with rheumatoid arthritis. In this stunning picture book, author Kathy
Stinson and illustrator Lauren Soloy bring Maud's world to life: how she
captured in her art what she loved most, while navigating the mobility
issues caused by her condition. From bright paintings of the sea and
countryside, to the flowers and birds she painted on the walls of the
small house she shared with her husband, Maud's work continues to
delight and inspire viewers young and old.
A Tulip in Winter features:
- Backmatter about Maud Lewis' life and legacy
- Notes from the author and illustrator about how Maud has impacted
their lives
Uplifting and visually compelling, Maud's story will inspire young
readers to find and focus on the beauty in their worlds.
