Join us for a special storytime with Julie Lucht, author of "Poppy Through the Paintings"At 57th Street Books
About the Book:
As Poppy makes her way from painting to painting, her illustrated image creatively twists and twirls to match the art style and brushstrokes of each artist’s original painting. While witnessing her fascinating changes in scenery, readers also get to solve a mystery alongside Poppy: she must find the owner of a lost pearl earring (spoiler: it’s the lady in Johannes Vermeer’s Girl with the Pearl Earring) and return it in order to escape the world within the paintings. Will Poppy succeed in her quest and make it back to her classmates before they notice she’s gone? Thankfully, the friendly subjects of each painting are willing to lend a hand.
