A lesser-known Ardizzone picture book returns in a handsome showcase for the artist's inimitable ink-and-wash illustrations and gift for dramatic storytelling. Here, an impoverished, struggling artist overcomes obstacles (including procuring enough red paint to finish his masterpiece), thanks to his enterprising and intrepid children. Parsimonious villains and anonymous benefactors abound in this celebration of persistence, familial devotion, friendship, and, of course, art.
