On a moonlit night in southern France, a time-traveling red airplane piloted by Amelia Bearhart carries an unexpected visitor to Vincent van Gogh, who needs a friend.
Vinny, the world's greatest artist, sees the world in swirling stars, cobalt skies, and golden fields. Meanwhile, Albear, the world's greatest scientist, sees a world of music, light, and equations. When they meet, each discovers that art and science may be different paths toward the same truth.
Before this special night is over, Bach will be played at an open window, a gift too generous to sell will be given, and a small brass compass will pass from one searching heart to another - teaching all of us to follow our own true north. The Great Vincent van Bear is a lyrical read-aloud about friendship, perseverance, kindness, and the courage to keep creating.
Illustrated with thick, swirling brushstrokes in the Post-Impressionist style of Vincent van Gogh and written for ages 4-9, this first book in The Stuffie Book series blends art, science, history, and heart into a keepsake story for curious children and the grown-ups who read beside them.
Enter this astonishing world of renowned artists, scientists, and adventurers, reimagined as time-traveling teddy bears. Discover the magic when art and science meet heart and kindness.
