Neither. Just from reading the book with her and asking her who did each painting each time we read it.

Children have minds like a sponge! I’m still impressed she can do that.

I am the author of Make Van Gogh’s Bed and the video made me cry! It makes me so happy to see Abby reading and touching and enjoying the art! Abby is also the name of Julie Appel’s daughter. Julie and I met when I taught Abby’s kindergarten class.
Keep up the great reading Abby!

Abby’s Dad,
Thanks so much for sharing this. Sweet Abby will forever remember these wonderful paintings… and associate this special Daddy moment!
(Amy sent me this link because she knew that I would enjoy it. If you don’t mind, I shared it with my other blogs/websites.)
