Summary: This is the story
of Yannick, a young Parisian boy, who is sent to Provence to live with his aunt
and uncle when his mother becomes ill. He wanders the beautiful countryside
finding Cezanne in all its beauty. Provence is the country of Cezanne--whom
Yannick thinks is the world's greatest painter. When a mysterious artist visits
his uncle's inn, Yannick is convinced the mystery man is Cezanne. He decides to
introduce himself to "Cezanne" and win a sketch from this person he
thinks is his idol.
Review: This is a sweet story and all the illustrations are exquisite. There is also a sweet relationship between Yannick and his cousin Amandine. This book offers young readers an early introduction to good literature. I would recommend this book for grades 4 to 6.
