Review Quotes




"This inspiring, age-appropriate biography of Van Gogh focuses on how the artist persisted in painting sunflowers at a time when most people regarded them as garish and rustic. Renditions of some of Van Gogh's paintings, including The Bedroom in Arles and Starry Night, subtly introduce young readers to his work. This also carries a strong message about the importance of friendship and persistence."--Booklist, starred review

"Readers familiar with van Gogh's work will enjoy finding references to some of his other famous subjects, such as wheat fields, the yellow house, and a starry sky. Includes an author's note. VERDICT A lovely addition to more traditional biographies of van Gogh, with particular appeal to younger readers. This will inspire discussion, and perhaps an art lesson or two." --School Library Journal, starred review
