Story Behind the Drawing

Being a goat, it was fitting that Henrietta loved all kinds of leafy plants as a kid, from pine needles and persimmon leaves to red cabbages and lettuce. However, unlike many goats, Henrietta was particularly fascinated by the unique qualities of the plants she encountered, for every leaf contained a different flavor and crunch waiting to be discovered and devoured. Thus Henrietta, having spent many mornings explaining to the other goats which leaves would taste best on what days, became a horticulturist — one of the most famous goat gardeners living today. She is best known for her watering can, which she carries on her head for easy crop maintenance.
