SYNOPSIS: This colorful, comedic tale, complete with a singing Fish and dancing Cow, paints the story of young, Jewish, painter Marc Chagall’s quest to be an artist. Through fanciful biographical scenes where he must get permission from his parents and extended family to pursue a non-Jewish trade, his childhood journey to art school artfully, playfully, comes to life.
Presented, is the first scene of a full length book published by Samuel French.
PAINT premiered at the 13th Annual National Children's Festival in Coral Gables, Florida.
