Lunchtime for a Purple Snake — Harriet Ziefert

Jessica's grandpa is an artist, and she loves to visit him in his studio. On this visit, Jessica and her grandpa paint a picture together, and he teaches her a little about color and composition along the way. Readers will enjoy watching the painting develop, one element at a time, until finally it is complete and ready for a title. Unpretentious and fun, Lunchtime for a Purple Snake brushes away mystery and intimidation to reveal the joy and discovery painting brings to artists young and old.
