Customer Review: Adds even more heart to the life of Van Gogh
I read this book to my first grade class and almost burst into tears as I read it. This is the kind of book that was written specifically for lovers of art, namely that of the genius Van Gogh. It is not just a theory of a part of the artist’s life, it is a story of friendship and how we inspire each other to do our best. I love how Van Gogh’s works and style were slipped into the pages, and the voice of the character Jacques is touching and well-done.
Customer Review: A Wonderful Book About a Gifted Artist
This is a wonderful book about Vincent Van Gogh. It is beautifully illustrated and brings to life the story of “The Starry Night.” The relationship between the boy in the story and Vincent is that of beloved friends. Vincent’s insanity is never brought to the fore; however it is dealt with along with a subliminal message of compassion and tolerance. As an Art History teacher I have used this book on numerous occasions to introduce Van Gogh to children as young as Kindergarten and as old as 5th grade, with each level taking from it what they could. The illustrations in the book are exceptional. One can only be moved by Vincent painting in the darkness with a halo of starlight around his hat. Teaching Van Gogh to children is always a touchy subject. How do we separate the genius from the insanity? This book brings Vincent to a level of understanding that children can comprehend without ever mentioning his illnesses. It is a lovely, well-written story that introduces Van Gogh and one of his most famous paintings in a delightful manner.
