From Booklist
K-Gr. 3. It's summer, and the artists have returned to the island. The young narrator, a painter himself, has been waiting for their arrival. In this quietly told book, the boy recounts how each of four painters--an artist who paints flowers, a portraitist, a still-life painter, and a landscape artist--paint the same island. By observing each artist closely, the boy hopes to discover how to paint the wind. At the end of summer, the artworks, including the boy's picture of trees bending to the wind, are displayed. Perspective plays an underlying role throughout, both in Schneider's seaside backdrops and in her individual artists' points of view and works. Adding a droll touch is each artist's sidekick dog, with a personality as distinctive as its owner's art. The gentle prose pairs well with handsome artwork that evokes warm, strong sensory impressions through a combination of thick brushwork, texture, and a vibrant color palette. This first collaboration between Patricia MacLachlan and her daughter, Emily, gets to the heart of creativity in a way children will understand. Julie Cummins
