Bookroo's summary

Katie's indecision about her future leads her to a gallery, where she embarks on whimsical adventures with characters from five famous paintings. Can she help a shepherd boy from Constable's 'The Cornfield' with his unruly sheep? As art comes to life, Katie discovers inspiration in unexpected places. Join her on a journey where imagination knows no bounds and every painting holds a new adventure.

From the publisher

Katie just can’t decide what she wants to be when she grows up. Perhaps a trip to the gallery to see five famous paintings by world-renowned British artists might give her some ideas. And can she help the shepherd boy from Constable’s “The Cornfield” round up all those pesky sheep? For almost two decades, the Katie series has been bringing art to life for young children.
