Araminta's Paint Box (Aladdin Picture Books)

When her family moves to California in 1847, Araminta and her paint box become separated, but through a series of new owners, the box finds it way across the country and back to its owner. The paint box changes hands as it travels across the U.S.--from a Dutch farmer to a gambler, from a young bride to a Mormon family--taking readers on a journey across the newly settled country. Full color.
