As a teacher-librarian, I have the opportunity to read young adult books to share with my students. The list that I have provided will have an overview of the book and personal comments. They are on a Book-mercial style image to get a taste of the essence of the book.

Vincent and Theo: The Van Gogh Brothers by Deborah Heiligman
Art is very important, as well as the artist's story. Read the background of this famous man. Then go online and look at his paintings. If you can see his work in a museum that would even be better. Years ago at the Getty in LA I got to see a special exhibit of Vincent Van Gogh's work. Amazing. I love the iris study but now I am also appreciating the sunflower series and of course the Starry Night art. Oh great now I have the song in my head. Audio book also good. I'm getting this for my high school library.
