Linnea in Monet's Garden (1985) by Christina Björk illustrations by Lena Anderson is the story of a young girl named her elderly neighbor Mr. Bloom. “When I go visit him, I like to look in a book that Mr. Bloom has about the French artist Claude Monet.” Linnea and Mr. Bloom travel to Paris to see Monet paintings.
