"The narrative flows naturally and deals with some difficult issues. . . in an age-appropriate and sensitive fashion. . . . Anholt's charming watercolor and pen illustrations re-create a time and place that will be unfamiliar to most [young] readers . . . . Most important, the title conveys the idea that artists are real people fulfilling a purpose that may not be understood in the context of their everyday lives." " --School Library Journal "


." . . this charming introduction to Paul Cezanne highlights the artist's relationship with his son. . . . Evocative, realistic illustrations mix with reproductions of Cezanne's works and. . . will draw kids into this enjoyable, informative portrayal of Cezanne as both a father and an influential artist."
