From the distinguished author-illustrator of the maritime Tim series and winner of the Kate Greenaway medal comes this classic picture book that was recommended to our editor by a children's bookseller in Princeton, NJ. "Please find out if Sarah and Simon and No Red Paint is still in print," she implored, "and if it is not, please do all you can to publish it." With some difficulty we procured the book, which was indeed out of print, read it, and fell in love. Here is the story of two children, Sarah and Simon, whose father is a painter, and who live with their parents and baby brother in a big room called a Studio. Their father is talented, but unacknowledged, and so the family is poor, though very happy. When the story opens, the father is painting his masterpiece. Sarah and Simon are good little helpers and spend their time doing chores and visiting their favorite place in town: the old second-hand bookshop with its kind owner. Soon the masterpiece is almost finished, e Media > Book<
