This children's book tells the story of Camille, a boy who lives in a place where sunflowers grow very tall. One day, a strange man with a straw hat and a yellow beard arrives in the town: Vincent van Gogh. Through Camille's eyes, the book introduces children to the famous painter and his art, with reproductions of his works.
