SUNFLOWERS

The sunflowers look like yellow suns.

Camille loves the sunflowers field.

Camille’s dad was a postman, he helped him with the mail.

Vincent was new in town, he was a painter.

Vincent moved into the “yellow house”

Camille and his dad helped Vincent, the painter.

Camille had a nice present for Vincent: big sunflowers!

Vincent Van Gogh painted Camille’s family in the Yellow House.
