Vincent on Mars combines art and planetary science to inspire awe, wonder, curiosity, and creativity in children and adults alike. Imagine if a young Vincent van Gogh dreamt of awakening on Mars. What strange new Martian landscapes would he paint with his captivating and unique artistic style? Through rhyming text and vibrant illustrations, Vincent on Mars takes us on a beautiful journey to explore and learn about an alien world—the mysterious, majestic Red Planet with its rusty sands and skies, lower gravity than Earth, blue sunsets, two tiny natural satellites, a longer day called a “sol”, no liquid surface water, and a distant past wetter, warmer, and possibly full of life awaiting our discovery. Vincent on Mars shows us that creativity and science are intertwined, and through art, we can better observe, investigate, and appreciate the universe around us.
Kirkus Reviews says of Vincent on Mars: “Art meets astronomy in this visually dazzling book” and “Davis’ full-color, painterly illustrations are truly stunning”—and gives it the prestigious Award & Accolade of GET IT.
The paintings in this children’s picture book are unlike anything you may have ever seen. It is as if the artist Vincent van Gogh really painted the amazing landscapes of Mars.
