L'autore

Clyde Robert Bulla (1914–2007) was born on a farm near King City, Missouri. He went to a one-room country school. Reading and writing were his favorite subjects, and by the time he was seven, Bulla knew he wanted to be a writer. After years of writing magazine stories and novels and working on his hometown newspaper, he found that he really wanted to write for children. More than 70 of his books for boys and girls have been published.

Ellen Beier is an American artist who has illustrated many children’s books, including Anne of Green Gables, The Paint Brush Kid, Mrs. Peachtree and the Eighth Avenue Cat, and The Blue Hill Meadows. She was born in New York and now lives in Corvallis, Oregon, with her husband and son.

Dalla seconda/terza di copertina

Ten years ago, we met Gregory, his family, and his neighborhood in Clyde Robert Bulla's The Chalk Box Kid. The book was published to critical and popular acclaim. Publishers Weekly said, "Bulla has created a gem of a book--a story that goes straight to the heart." Now we pick up Gregory's story where it left off in The Paint Brush Kid. Gregory and his friends help their neighbor--Uncle Pancho--save his house by painting a wonderful mural on its walls. They paint a story, the story of Uncle Pancho's life, a story that comes to life for all who see it.
