Bag om Go Home Bay

Over the next few days she watches as Tom paddles off to fish and clambers over the rocks to paint. And then he invites Helen to paint with him ¿ wildflowers blooming near the cottage, boats rocking in the water, pine trees blowing in a storm. And at summer¿s end, he leaves her with a memento of their time together.The story, told in lyrical free verse, has a quiet charm, while the illustrations capture the natural beauty that inspired some of Thomson¿s most memorable paintings.An author¿s note provides more information about Tom Thomson¿s life.
