The editors of American Girl Library invite readers into 20 works of art featuring girl subjects in Imagine the Girl in the Painting: Stories of Girls in Art. ""Imagine the schoolyard is full of strange faces"" accompanies The New Scholar (1878) by Jennie Brownscomb. Brief biographies of the artists Winslow Homer, Palmer Hayden and Doris Lee among them appear in the back of the book; a packet of postcard-size reproductions comes tucked into an attached envelope. The cover functions as a frame with a die cut slot for displaying different paintings and a pop-out easel in back.
