Lily Brown's Paintings

Written by Angela Johnson and Illustrated by E.B.Lewis

When Lily Brown paints, her world starts to change . . .
trees wear hats and drink tea, people walk upside down, and apples sing all the way home from the store.


It's Lily Brown's world, and it's wondrous. Lily fills her paintings with wonderful thoughts and images, in a tribute to the artists that inspired the author as a child.
