“He could not stop creating beauty.”
This is a very emotional book and I think it should be read to older elementary to ensure they will be respectful and understand more of the sensitivity.

Very touching book. May be sensitive to young ready but very truthful and heart wrenching. Easy read, but would gear it toward older kids because of the plot and vocabulary.
