Sinopsis

Benjamin West was born with an extraordinary giftthe gift of creating paintings of people, animals, and landscapes so true to life they took ones breath away. But Benjamin is part of a deeply religious Quaker family, and Quaker beliefs forbid the creation of images.

Because Benjamins family didnt approve of his art, he had to make his own painting supplies. The local Native Americans taught him how to mix paints from earth, clay, and plants. And his cat, Grimalkin, sacrificed hair from his tail for Bens brushes.

This classic story from Newbery Awardwinning author Marguerite Henry features the original text with gorgeous new cover art.
