Hana in the Time of Tulips by Deborah Noyes illustrated by Bagram Ibatoulline

The illustrations are like masterpiece paintings!
Readers travel to Holland when the tulipomania is consuming its residents.  Hana misses her father.  He use to pretend with her and smile.  Now he is focused on tulips.  When the tulip market crashes, Hana listens to Rembrandt's wisdom and steers her father back to what is important.

I read this aloud to my sons to support our study of the Dutch during this time period.
A great book to immerse children into this period in the Netherlands.
-Borrowed from the library.
