The Year with Grandma Moses

32 pp. | Holt | August, 2000 | Trade ISBN 0-8050-6243-2 $$20.00
(4) K-3 Thirteen of Grandma Moses's detailed folk-art paintings, depicting rural activities such as field plowing, grain threshing, and sleigh rides, are paired with excerpts of her writing about life in upstate New York. Nikola-Lisa has added simple text describing and attempting to unify the appealing illustrations, but the package as a whole feels disjointed. An author's note about Grandma Moses is included.
