Vincent: Starry Starry Night

"Starry, starry night

Paint your palette blue and gray

Look out on a summer's day

With eyes that know the darkness in my soul"

From the "Vincent" song by Don McLean.

Title: Vincent: Starry Starry Night

Author: Judith A Proffer

Illustrator: Yoko Matsuoka

Publisher: Huqua Press

Once there was a little boy Vincent who was very reserved. He saw things very differently than other kids of his age. Vincent always lived in darkness and sadness. He would hide these special emotions inside his marvellous paintings interspersed with the beauty of nature. Vincent forgot to recognize and acknowledge the beauty within himself! These gloomy emotions only grew with age and he continued depicting these feelings in the form of art.

This story advises us that all of us have some special talent, we might not recognize it until late, but when we do, we should share it with everyone in this world.

📚 An amazing tribute to the legend Vincent Van Gogh - his work and life! It beautifully dives into the feelings and experiences of the admirable artist.

📚 A beautiful message - "you might feel different than others, but you are not wrong and you are not alone".

📚 Stunning illustrations and lyrical text.

📚 Recommended for kids ages 6+
