Kandinsky felt the artwork, he felt the music, which was very difficult for others to understand. Vasya could hear music and sounds when he painted and could see art when he heard music. His world changed when his aunt gave him a wooden paint box. He was taught to sit and talk with adults and all the things his family thought he should learn. The story begins with Vasya learning to be the “proper Russian boy”, by learning about music, math, science and history. The illustrations (by Mary Grandpre) are amazing and add so much to the story of the young life of Vasya Kandinsky and his journey to becoming an artist. A Caldecott Honor Book, I cannot say enough about this beautiful book. The Noisy Paint Box: the Colors and Sounds of Kandinsky’s Artby Barb Rosenstock has been a favorite of my art therapy classes this year.
