Why I Created This Series
Hi, I’m Elaine Hammermaster Godinez.
After 30+ years of teaching art to kids, I wanted to create something for parents, grandparents, and teachers: a way to bring great artists to young children through books designed just for them.
I combined everything I’ve learned about what makes kids light up with excitement — like silly art jokes! — and created the Art Education Book Collection.
My first book, Vincent Eats Sunflowers, is a little one’s first introduction to Vincent van Gogh.
Now, Cloudy Monet’s Muddy Garden brings Claude Monet’s world to life for the youngest readers.
Bring Monet’s Magic to Your Kids
Join me in bringing laughter, discovery, and creativity to your home or classroom.
Watch your children’s faces light up with smiles as they laugh, search for hidden flowers, and fall in love with art for the very first time.
The perfect first Monet book for little kids!
