She was poor, and she taught art classes to children. One of her students was seven-year-old Carol Pearson. Pearson spent hours every day with Carr: they painted together at the water's edge, and she helped care for the dogs, birds, monkey and other animals that Carr kept as pets. They grew very close, and at the age of 14, Carol moved in with Carr. Emily nicknamed Carol \"Baboo,\" and Carol called her \"Mom.\" The two were \"mother-and-daughter\" for twenty-five years, up until Carr passed away. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis touching tribute to Carr illustrates a gentleness and sensitivity not seen in other biographies.
