Louise Loves Art by Kelly Light *

My preschooler loved this book-asked me to read it two times in one evening.
Louise is preparing for her art show.  Her little brother, ART, wants to participate too but does it in a manner that upsets Louise.
Sweet story portraying siblings in their worse and best of times.
Lots of "art words"/Frenchy-sounding-"masterpiece", "young artiste", "piece de resistance", "Gallery du Fridge", "viola".
Love the color choices: gray, black, yellow, brown and red
My second grader pointed out a major theme that I did not noticed through the first read.
Words are sparse but illustrations add to the depth of the story.  Even the end pages tell the story so look at everything carefully!
The first two lines in the book are quotable.
**Highly recommend!!
