There are lots of ways to share your time with someone who is near and dear to you. Let us spend a day with someone, doing things we both enjoy, relaxing, talking, playing, and most of all being together.

In this collection of Renoir’s paintings we see friends, mothers and their children, sisters, a child and her pet, and a young man and a woman doing all those wonderful things that many of us forget to do in this day and age when everything is rushed and busy. Flowing rhyming text carries the reader from page to page as we visit each couple in their little painted worlds. Beautifully reproduced and perfectly selected pictures make this a very special treat and a suitable introduction for young children to the works and world of Renoir.
