This was Giacomo’s chance to prove himself. He gathered his father’s old nets and traps and set out into the fields.
But Giacomo’s quest to impress his father and catch an evasive bird is foiled at every attempt because an old man is freeing every bird Giacomo catches. Finally Giacomo spots the bird he is after, perched in the window of the artist’s studio. In his rush to catch it, the boy frightens the bird away. Then he sees something on the old man’s table and has an idea. A delicious pun and play on words creates a perfect ending. Exploring an unknown aspect of one of history’s great artists, John Winch’s paintings are richly furnished with references to da Vinci’s paintings and inventions, brilliantly evoking the early-Renaissance setting, while his sparse text successfully conveys the increasing desperation of the struggling boy.
A painter, printmaker, sculptor, ceramicist, and illustrator, John Winch's works are held in several museums, including the Guggenheim Museum in New York. His previous titles includeKeeping Up with Grandma, The Old Woman Who Loved to Read, and Where Do You Sleep Little One?
