Author Susan Vande Griek and illustrator Pascal Milelli have imagined this time through Helen s eyes, providing an intriguing glimpse into the famous painter s life. \u003cbr\u003eHelen and her father greet their visitor on the rocks of West Wind Island. She is fascinated by everything about him his canoe full of gear, his paint-stained hands, his campfire stew. Over the next few days she watches as Tom paddles off to fish and clambers over the rocks to paint. And then he invites Helen to paint with him wildflowers blooming near the cottage, boats rocking in the water, pine trees blowing in a storm. And at summer s end, he leaves her with a memento of their time together. \u003cbr\u003eThe story, told in lyrical free verse, has a quiet charm, while the illustrations capture the natural beauty that inspired some of Thomson s most memorable paintings. \u003cbr\u003eAn author s note provides more information about Tom Thomson s life.\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Groundwood Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/12\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781554987016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 9.00w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2016 pg. 61\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Susan Vande Griek","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36659612090524,"sku":"9781554987016","price":16.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_6023c46f-80f0-4be3-9b31-121aad8a52bc.jpg?v=1603895141","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/go-home-bay-9781554987016","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
