Vincent can't sleep. Van Gogh paints the night sky.
14.99 €
Ever since he was a child, Vincent has had a hard time sleeping. He sees pink and yellow stars playing on the ceiling. As he grows older, he wanders the streets at night, goes to the fields and lies down with a blanket of sapphire skies. He draws and writes letters, creating canvas after canvas. He ends up in the hospital. All the while searching for the answer to the question: what is darkness like? Is the night sky calm? Together, the text and illustrations balance the disturbing melancholy and harmony.
The authors teach children about the life and work of Vincent van Gogh through the lens of his insomnia. Mary Grandpre's beautiful illustrations are styled after Van Gogh. Most importantly, the book has a clear message about recognition and success, while suggesting that one is not always an accurate indicator of the other. The creators of this picture book have done a wonderful job of extracting thought-provoking and inspiring themes.
