(2) K-3 Illustrated by Mary GrandPré. Using Van Gogh's lifelong insomnia and his 1889 painting The Starry Night, Rosenstock and GrandPré have created a combination picture-book biography and bedtime story. Economical, evocative text introduces the essence of this famously troubled, sensitive man, highlighting his fascination with the night sky along with events throughout his life. GrandPré's paintings and drawings reveal her own ease with color and a deft mimicry of his style. Bib.
