Book Description
for Painted Dreams by Karen Lynn Williams and Catherine Stock
From the Publisher
Ti Marie dreams of being an artist. Whenever she gets some time away from watching her little sisters and helping Mama in their market stall, she finds a cement wall or a scrap of waste paper and lets her imagination soar. Using whatever she can find to make a mark -- bits of red brick, charcoal, white rocks -- Ti Marie makes beautiful art. If only she had real paint, brushes, and clean white canvas, what wonderful pictures she could paint then! But Mama says there is no money for such things. Still, Ti Marie finds a surprising way to make her dreams come true.
Karen Lynn Williams and Catherine Stock, the talented team that created the award-winning Galimoto, have collaborated on a contemporary story set in Haiti that celebrates the joy of creativity.
