Illustrated by
François Place.
Because his mother is ill, a young boy is sent to stay with relatives in the south of France (where his beloved Cézanne painted) and has a chance encounter with Picasso. This novella, illustrated with warm pencil and watercolor art, is a quiet, well-told story of a boy finding his voice in a strange but beautiful new environment.
