Book Overview
With stunning artwork reminiscent of Rembrandt, this tender tale harks back to the days of tulip fever to illuminate the enduring love between father and child. Hana and her father used to love to walk in the garden in the evening and play their favorite game - the one where Hana is a Renowned Physician and Papa pretends to faint dead away on the bench. But ever since tulip fever struck Holland, Hana's father has been consumed by greed. Soon he is too busy to walk in the garden or kiss Hana good night or even realize how lovely the tulips are. Even worse, the tulip market is crashing, and now Papa is falling into despair. It's up to Hana - with a little help from the painter Rembrandt, a family friend - to find a way to remind her father of what's truly valuable and bring him back to his family. Luxurious illustrations by virtuoso painter Bagram Ibatoulline bring seventeenth-century Holland to life in this poignant portrait of the persistence of love.

Beautiful Illustrations
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I purchased this book because I wanted to add it to my multicultural book collection. The story take place in Holland. It is a story about a child and her father. The illustraitions are breath taking. Lots of information on Von gogh and on tulips, too.

A superlative work. So beautifully illustrated, and written with great grace. That rare thing: a modern classic with an actual plot, tenderness, and context!

The beautiful illustrations are the real gem of this book. It's a wonderful story too, but the pictures are truly breath taking.
Hana in the Time of the absent parent
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
I loved Hana because I sympathize with her. My Dad is obsessed with his job and never seems to have enough time for me. I even asked him to read this book and he told me he was too busy. This story may be about tulips but it could be about any parent I know. Dr Phil should feature this book on his show. I just want to thank my teacher Ms Miller for giving me this great book to read.

I wanted to cut out all the pictures in this book and hang them on the wall of my room. I couldn't take my eyes off them. I'm not really sure of what the story was about, but I want to say it again, the pictures were beautiful
