VAN GOGH AND THE SUNFLOWERS
by Laurence Anholt
One day, a strange man arrives in Camille’s town. It is the artist, Vincent van Gogh. His extraordinary paintings of sunflowers and the “Starry Night” entrance the young boy, but not everyone in the town appreciates his genius. Here is a classic tale about acceptance of those who are different.
Complete with reproductions of van Gogh’s work, this is another inspirational story from Laurence Anholt’s Artists series, celebrating some of the world’s greatest artists.
“Enchanting and illuminating.” — The Guardian “Anholt’s illustrations ingeniously match the artist’s unique style.” — Irish Examiner Over one million copies sold worldwide
