Renoir and the Boy with the Long Hair, by Wendy Wax, ISBN: 0764160419
Jean, this story’s handsome, long-haired little boy, happens to have a
very famous father—the artist Pierre Auguste Renoir. But the boy also
has a problem. Despite Jean’s many protests, his father thinks Jean’s
hair is too beautiful to be cut short. This renowned artist loves to
use his son as a model in many of his paintings, and he insists that
Jean is still young enough to keep his hair long. Meanwhile, the other
kids often tease Jean, which makes him quite angry—and well-meaning
adults sometimes mistake Jean for a pretty girl, which annoys and
embarrasses him. How can he convince his dad that he’s old enough to
have short hair? This gently amusing story for children is beautifully
illustrated in a manner that resembles the painting style of Jean’s
illustrious father, and it includes several illustrations that are
faithful copies of Renoir’s paintings. Of course, the senior Renoir
finally relents, and young Jean Renoir does get his
hair cut. Still later as an adult, Jean becomes famous in his own right as a widely acclaimed film director.
