Author Description

Early one morning, visitors to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden were startled by a strange sight. Out in the middle of the lawn stood a lion, a leopard and a wo lf. Where did these wild beasts come from? Only two children know that the answer lies in a painting at the museum, Edward Hicks's The Peaceable Kingdom. This handsomely illustrated book weaves a tale of tolerance and is also an introduction to fine art for youngsters.
