From humble beginnings sketching Iowa's cornfields and rolling hills as a child, painter Grant Wood (1891-1942) became the father of Regionalism-- an artistic movement that celebrated the real-life surroundings of the people. [This] is a picture-book biography that explores the birth of the famous painting, the movement that made it possible, and the artist who created it all.
