If you were a boy named Henri Matisse who lived in a dreary town in northern France, what would your life be like? Would it be full of color and art? Full of lines and dancing figures?
Find out in this beautiful, unusual picture book about one of the world's most famous and influential artists by acclaimed author and Newbery Medal-winning Patricia MacLachlan and innovative illustrator Hadley Hooper.

这是一个关于画家马蒂斯童年的故事，也是一个讲述妈妈对孩子的言传身教所深藏的巨大影响的故事。故事讲述小男孩亨利·马蒂斯从小生活在一个寒冷的、天空灰蒙蒙的法国小镇上，他渴望五彩缤纷的颜色、亮堂堂的光线和暖洋洋的太阳。而他的妈妈为他带来了这一切——她画了许多彩盘装饰房间，让马蒂斯来帮忙调颜料、摆放各色的水果和鲜花；她纺织五颜六色的丝绸，用红毯装饰墙壁和地面；她还管马蒂斯养的鸽子叫彩虹鸟。这一切带给马蒂斯色彩的启蒙，使他长大成为一位出色的画家。
