Description

Times Book of the Year

'An absolute gem ... Beech's exquisite artwork is characterful and warm' Observer

An exploration of the art and life of Vincent Van Gogh through the touching letters he exchanged with his brother Theo.

Vincent is fed up with life in the grey city, but things are about to change! With the support of his loving brother Theo, Vincent sets off on a journey to the 'Sunny South'. There he will discover new and inspiring places and make new friends. But will he be able to paint the picture of his dreams?

A heart-warming snapshot of a happy and creative period in Van Gogh's life, this story focuses on the bond between two brothers, and how Theo's support and encouragement helped Vincent to reach his full artistic potential.

Written by Michael Bird and illustrated by painter Ella Beech, Dear Vincent will immerse young readers in Vincent's world and reveal his unique perspective as an artist.
