In 2013 a painting by Emily Carr sold for $3.39 million. But in the 1920s, Emily Carr was considered a strange bird who made paintings nobody wanted, kept a houseful of pets and often disappeared into the woods in a tiny house on wheels. But even those familiar with Emily's eccentricities were surprised when she adopted a small, lonely monkey. When Emily Carr Met Woo is the story of Woo the monkey's joyful and chaotic introduction to Emily Carr's household. She snatches at the parrot's feathers, chases the cats and dogs--and wins Emily's big heart. But when Woo's mischief turns dangerous, Emily fears she may lose her little friend. Dean Griffiths's watercolors capture the mood and architecture of the 1920s. Monica Kulling, using prose as simple and expressive as Emily's own brush strokes, retells the true story of one of the era's greatest artists--and of the monkey who loved her. The book includes photos, reproductions of Emily Carr's paintings, and a biography of the artist.
