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.
About the Author: Julie holds a BA in Journalism. Her childhood was filled with trips to the library and museum with her mother. These trips, along with her two incredible daughters, were the inspiration for the strong, independent and curious Poppy. Julie wishes she could travel through the paintings like Poppy. Currently, Julie lives in Texas with her wonderful husband and loves reading, her family and her dogs. Poppy Through the Paintings is her first children’s book.
