He rejected a traditional life laid out clean and smooth before him. Instead, he chose a life of art. But not just any art—a new way of seeing that came to be called impressionism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMonet loved to paint what he saw around him, particularly the Seine River.

Monet, however, waited only for the light. The changing light... each morning he had a dozen canvases on hand to paint a dozen different moments. His brush moved back and forth, chasing sunlight—putting in the arduous work to create an image that seemed to contain no effort at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe stellar team that brought you the Caldecott Honor book \u003cem\u003eThe Noisy Paint Box\u003c\/em\u003e explores another influential painter, in a moving tribute to creativity, commitment, and new ways of seeing the world around you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46995784827116,"sku":"9780525708179","price":45.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/4130543482375.jpg?v=1763119228"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/mary-grandpre.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
