Summary
The book tells about how Kisha loves to paint. CJ visits Kisha to watch her paint, and Kisha decides to paint a picture of CJ. Pierre and Hopsalot come to see Kisha's painting of CJ. Then Kisha paints pictures of Pierre and Hopsalot too. Pierre asks Kisha if she can teach him paint, but Kisha says her brush is too tired.

At the end of the book, there is a list of words sorted by which ending digraph they contain. Then there is an activity page with four pictures of Kisha, Pierre, Eleanor, and CJ. Each picture has words beneath it that describe the objects each character has, but the words are missing some letters. The reader is asked to complete the words by writing in the correct consonant digraph.
