Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose

Brewster, Hugh. Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose. Illustrated by John Singer Sargent. Kids Can Press: 2007. ISBN: 9781554531370. Ages: 8 to adult.

This story is about Kate Millet and how she was going to be a model for John Singer Sargent's painting Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose. But then she wasn't because the modeling for the painting was going to Polly and Dolly. Then it was put into Tate Gallery. The art was beautiful. The colors that stood out to me were magenta, pink, bue violet, jade, red, rose, gray, purple, and lavender. All of the story was just spectacular. I recommend it to anyone.
