Review quotes

..".a charming, unique way to introduce youngsters to great art while providing an important message."— Kirkus Reviews

..".the colorful paintings jump off the pages and will give you a lot to think about.... it's cool. Very cool." — The Washington Post

"It's a compelling and suspenseful story that has a wonderful ending...It makes van Gogh's paintings even more memorable...This is the first book I've read where the illustrations are storied instead of the story being illustrated. ....It adds a depth of imagination that I'm not used to in picture books. I can't think of any other picture book doing this — it's wonderful!" -The Picture Book Review (thepicturebookreview.com/)
