(2) K-3 Illustrated by Mary GrandPré. The life of Chagall--amid turbulent times in the twentieth century--is captured in Rosenstock's rhythmic, lyrical text with a repeated, thematic refrain: "Through the window, the boy sees... / ...the student sees... / ...the painter sees..." GrandPré's acrylic paintings likewise capture the feel of Chagall's art, both in the images (windows, musical instruments, animals, etc.) and in the geometric style and saturated colors, especially his signature blue.
