Vincent Can't Sleep: Van Gogh Paints the

A gorgeous lyrical picture-book biography of Vincent van Gogh by the Caldecott Honor team behind The Noisy Paint Box.   Vincent can’t sleep . . . out out out he runs!               flying through the garden—marigold geranium blackberry raspberry— past the church with its tall steeple down rolling hills and sandy paths meant for sheep He dives at last into the velvety violet heath snuggles under a blanket of sapphire sky  and looks up up up . . . to visit with the stars.    Vincent van Gogh often found himself unable to sleep and wandered under starlit skies. Those nighttime experiences provided the inspiration for many of his paintings including his most famous The Starry Night. Van Gogh sold only one painting in his lifetime—but he continued to pursue his unique vision and ultimately became one of the most beloved artists of all time.   From the same team behind the Caldecott Honor Book The Noisy Paint Box Vincent Can’t Sleep is a stunning book that offers insight into the true meaning of creativity and commitment.   Praise for The Noisy Paint Box:   “Even those who aren’t inspired to visit a museum will take away the lesson of Kandinsky’s life: Listen to what excites you and follow its call.” —The New York Times   * “Rosenstock’s prose strikes a balance between lightheartedness and lyricism.
