Into the Starry Night

This bedtime story inspired by Vincent van Gogh’s beloved masterpiece The Starry Night encourages close looking for young art lovers through detailed reproductions and rhyming verse

Swirling clouds and colorful stars fill the sky in Vincent van Gogh’s iconic painting The Starry Night, which provides the inspiration for this charming bedtime story. Written in verse and focusing in turn on various elements within the painting—the trees, the moon, the town, and the stars—this delightful book invites little ones (and their adults!) to look closely, discover hidden details, and share the brilliant beauty of this beloved work in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art.
