In 1847, Araminta and her family pack up their lives in Boston to make the long journey to California. Araminta brings her most prized possession, a special wooden paint box. But when the wagon ride gets bumpy, the box falls out along the trail, leaving her heartbroken.
Do not worry, because this paint box is about to go on an amazing adventure of its own. It is picked up by a Dutch farmer, then handed to a gambler, a new bride, and a pioneer family. Each person carries it a little further west across the United States.
Follow along as the beloved paint box travels from person to person through the changing landscapes of America. You will get a front row seat to a fascinating slice of pioneer history, and maybe you will see the paint box find its way back to the artist who loves it most.
