This book was interesting. It told the life story of Marc Chagall in first person. The art was bold and vibrant, a sharp contrast to some of the story. The text was lively and interesting and help set the tone for the story. She loosely based her story on Chagall’s autobiography. I don’t know

how invested children will be in his story. I doubt that they know who he is or why he’s famous. I do feel that this book gives them an opportunity to investigate his life. I think that in the hands of an art teacher, it could open a whole new world for some students. I would recommend this book for elementary students in grades 3-6. Lesson ideas include art class, and a biography lesson. Show Less

This book is about Marc Chagall finally became an artist after it being his dream for so long. This would be a great book to show students that they can always follow their dreams no matter what anyone says. This is also a great resource to teach students how to write biographies or

autobiographies. It will give students ideas about how to write about themselves or someone close to them. Grades: 2-4 Show Less
