The Boy Who Loved to Draw by Barbara Brenner, Olivier Dunrea
This picture-book biography, with rich color illustrations throughout, invites readers into the world of Benjamin West. Seven-year-old Benjamin West loved to draw--in fact, that's the only thing he loved to do. When he was supposed to be doing his chores, like milking the cows, he would sketch them instead. He also did anything he could to get his materials--even plucking hair from the cat to use as a paintbrush! At the age of nine, he was sent by his parents to Philadelphia, where he studied art. Benjamin would later go on to become a famous American painter.
