'For art lovers 7 to 107 years of age, this beautifully illustrated fictional book follows the tale of Jessie, a talented artist born in rural Australia in the year 1870. But Jessie has a secret about the enchanted paints she uses. Witness this mystical tale behind her oil paintings unfold, and along the journey, come to appreciate her family’s unique breed of dog.

'The reader meets Jessie’s family in 1966, when it is easy to laugh along with 12 year old Janagatha the youngest family member and enjoy her mischievous personality.
