I Am Vincent van Gogh introduces readers, ages ten and up, to one of the world's most famous painters. Van Gogh's life is as fascinating as his paintings. Although always interested in art, van Gogh did not start painting until his late twenties. Once he started, van Gogh created some of the world's best-known paintings including "Sunflowers" and "The Starry Night." Roig brings van Gogh's story to life as if van Gogh were speaking directly to the reader. Precise explanations of art movements and terms are provided for readers.
