Description
Inspired by a beautiful Claude Monet painting, a little artist decides to create her own masterpiece, but her puppy has other ideas. From grabbing his favorite ball to rolling on the floor, he tries everything to get her attention, and chaos ensues, creating a big, colorful mess. Or is it a mess after all? Perhaps Claude the dog and Claude Monet have a lot more in common than we think.
Told entirely in stunning illustration, Claude is a wordless picture book that introduces young artists to the works of Monet while inspiring creativity and promoting passion over perfection. And at the end, kids can read about the life of Monet and his role in art history. With bold splashes of color across white pages, this inspirational story shows the creative process in full transparency, proving that there are no bad creations, just happy mistakes that are worth more than a thousand words.

My first wordless book of the year and it's outstanding! I enjoyed the story and how it defeats our tendency to perfectionism. Monet's painting here may be considered by the protagonist as the "perfect" piece she wants to emulate. However, in the end, she mess up. Enter her dog, Claude and it made a whole lot difference (and lots of mess) in the story.
