Belle

The Amazing, Astonishing Magical Journey of An Artfully Painted Lady Butterfly 

A wonderful story with realistic and captivating illustrations; this is the perfect way to introduce children to the world of ‘Fine Art’. The adventure begins when a butterfly, who’d been quietly hovering over a beautiful white poppy in a seventeenth-century Dutch still-life for three hundred years, suddenly finds herself flying out of her painting.  Accidentally dislodged when the museum staff jostle the canvas, Belle and her sidekick Brimstone must find their way back “home.” Because they are made of paint, they discover that they can blend into any of the other paintings in the museum. They travel through the galleries, morphing into and out of all the different works of art searching for their painting and avoiding becoming lunch for a hungry bird who, released from another painting by an awkward bump from Brimstone, is in hot pursuit. Belle is an enthralling adventure through seven hundred years of art!
