Book request: A girl and her mom move to a fancy artist retreat to be chefs for the summer, her dad is separated in some way? She learns poetry from one of the artists there and he says poetry starts with asking "What was? what could be?". He also calls poems "Day dreams". There is some side plot line with the attic having kids living in there at some point in history I think? The girl also reads to one of the older artists. A children/teen book I read around 2013-15. set in america present day, artist retreat is very nice property with lake etc, modern book. Cover image was bright blue sky grass and trees half of cover was the sky, maybe a girl lying there? I think the text was yellow. I have been going crazy for the past couple days trying to find this book please help me!!!
