The Starry Night Summary

The Starry Night by Neil Waldman

On a summer day in Central Park, a boy meets a man named Vincent. He is a painter, and the picture on his old wooden easel shows the park's daffodils in all their yellow splendor. The painting captures the boy's imagination. Soon Vincent and the boy are exploring Manhattan, from Battery Park to Harlem, from Fifth Avenue to Greenwich Village. Vincent paints the city in bright and beautiful colors. Then one day he takes the boy to a museum. He leads him to a painting of a country village. No sooner does the boy recognize the painting as one of Vincent's than his friend disappears. But Vincent has left the boy a gift: the desire to paint a picture. Neil Waldman's special book, featuring stunning Van Gogh-inspired paintings of Manhattan, speaks to that part of a child that knows no limits the imagination.

The Starry Night Reviews

"A nifty little fantasy based on the life of painter Vincent Van Gogh." --Booklist

"The real achievement is the imagined art of Van Gogh in New York, where scenes offer homages to the artist in subject (there's a Greenwich Village version of Night Cafe) as well as in style. . . . Young art students might find some inspiration here." --Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
