Claude Bear has always been fascinated by light. He likes to lie on the grass and watch the colours change as light, shadow and wind move over the leaves of the trees. When he moves to the seaside town of Le Havre, he meets Boudin who teaches him to paint. From that moment on, life is an adventure, and soon Claude is sailing around the world capturing the beauty of foreign landscapes.
But it's in the quietness of the French country where Claude finally settles, where he makes himself a beautiful water garden, filled with lilies . . .
'For The Love Of Claude' is Brenda V Northeast's latest picture book and it interprets the life of Claude Monet through the eyes of a teddy bear.
