VIDEO TRAILER: Please copy and paste this link into a browser window: http://bit.ly/rPzR75 "Where Camille lived, the sunflowers grew so high they looked like real suns - a whole field of burning yellow suns." Young Camille befriends a strange visitor to his small town, and one day he brings this man a gift of bright, beautiful sunflowers. The man is the artist Vincent van Gogh, and the sunflowers quickly become the subject of a magnificent painting. Based on actual events, this simple and evocative story (with text & illustrations by Laurence Anholt) has a powerful message of tolerance and compassion for those who appear odd or unusual, and who march to a different drummer. Anholt's gentle and empathetic text is complemented by his lovely and expressive watercolor illustrations, and includes reproduction of some of van Gogh's most famous paintings. Perfect for youngsters 4-11, Van Gogh and the Sunflowers is an inspiring introduction to the artist and his paintings. KEY EDUCATIONAL THEMES: - Art history: the ten paintings in the story can be viewed in a virtual museum, with detailed descriptions for each - Introduction to basic animation: the armature game included in several pages gives kids a behind the scenes look at how the animation is being powered. - Mechanical / spatial reasoning: The armature game also encourages spatial reasoning skills by asking kids to put the gears/pieces back together within a specified time. - Acceptance of diversity: the mysterious painter is taunted by others in the village. This can be a discussion point with your child about accepting those who may appear to be different .
