Book Guide

When Grandma Moses looks out her window, she sees a world of spotted cows, and rolling hills, and white picket fences.

This stunning picture book introduces children of all ages to the work of legendary artist Grandma Moses. Beginning in the spring—full of thunderstorms and scenes of laundry flapping in the wind—Nikola-Lisa's lyrical text captures the seasons on a farm and highlights the simple yet equally wonderful moments depicted in Grandma Moses's folk art paintings. The experience is made all the more intimate by Grandma Moses's memoir excerpts, which give readers a first-hand look at what inspired the artist.

With its paintings and descriptions of hay rides in the fall, ice-skating in winter, and gathering flowers in the spring and summer, The Year with Grandma Moses celebrates an important American artist and shares her special world with others.
