Summary

Welcome to Little Wood, the tiniest town around! The first in a new picture-book series from innovative textile artist and photographer, Sabina Gibson.

Wolfie is a little shy, but she loves to paint. Her friends and neighbors all want to see what she is working on, but she is not ready to share just yet. As she makes her way around Little Wood, she meets Bear, Rabbit, and Badger and paints them as they go about their day.
 
Soon she is brave enough to show everyone what she has been doing—and the whole town is invited to her art show! Who did Wolfie paint? And what will she paint next?
 
In the vein of Sylvanian Families, Calico Critters, and Richard Scarry, Wolfie Paints the Town introduces four lovable characters and the charming town of Little Wood, a place readers will want to visit again and again.
