The Met Vincent Van Gogh: He Saw the World in Vibrant Colors by Amy Guglielmo
5.0
The Met Vincent Van Gogh: He Saw the World in Vibrant Colors by Amy Guglielmo is a beautifully illustrated picture book about the artist's life. I enjoyed learning about Vincent's life, and I imagine that children will learn a lot about Van Gogh and his artistry as well. The author did a great job of including details that children will relate to, such as questions and prompts about drawing and painting. I also liked how the author added a timeline and glossary information for readers to get a clear insight into when Van Gogh painted some of his masterpieces and what words like "Impressionists" mean. Overall, this is an excellent picture book that highlights the life of Vincent Van Gogh without depicting gory details but adds enough information to successfully portray his life. Children will enjoy responding to questions, prompts, and challenges from the book and the vibrant graphic designs and illustrations.
