Together, they paint a lily, bright and white as a star; the green growing into the cap of a strawberry; the blue in the sky running pink. Henriette's father is N.C. Wyeth, the famous artist, who encourages her to paint what she sees, to awaken into her dreams, and she does, in this poetic picture book inspired by a famous American family of artists. <br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><i>And I Paint It: Henriette Wyeth's World</i> is a sensitive, satisfying portrayal of an adoring daughter spending time with her father.
