The Noisy Paint Box

This book is about more than just Kandinsky's art (which, of course, is very interesting). It is about finding one's own unique path in this world, about finding and realizing one's talent, regardless of anything. In my opinion, the story of Kandinsky's life will be inspiring to children and adults alike!

I've known Kandinsky's art but didn't know anything about him. He broke free from a conventional family's expectation, worked with his synesthesia and became the pioneering force in abstract art.

Beautiful illustrations in this great introduction to a great artist.

for like the first ten years of his life you had to feel sorry for him but when he got a paint box. formality went out the window

Kandinsky heard colors and and painted music. Kids will love this tale about doing art your way!

This book was beautiful in how it captured Kandinsky's discovery of painting in such a magical way! Illustrations and storytelling are fantastic, plus the author provides some great background info at the very end.

An awesome Caldecott Honor picture book about Russian artist Vasya Kandinsky and the importance of freedom of expression. The illustrations are delightful and full of color, the story is interesting and offers me a window into an artist's mind. This would be a fun book to read to youngsters, but also a care-free read for adults, too.

An impressive portrait of a young Kandinsky. When his aunt gives him his first paint box, it comes alive. Sounds burst out from the colors within. Experiencing sounds as colors and colors as sounds influences Kandinsky's groundbreaking work, becoming the first recognized in abstract art. This book is just lovely.
