Discover the early life and legacy of groundbreaking American
writer Toni Morrison in this beautifully illustrated nonfiction
picture book biography. Born Chloe Ardelia Wofford in Ohio, Toni
Morrison grew up listening to her family tell myths, legends, and
stories from the Bible. She loved hearing the music and power of
the words. Toni also heard new stories from the students from other
countries who went to her school. After an early childhood of
soaking up tales from those around her, it was no surprise Toni
grew into a voracious reader. She worked at her town library as a
teenager and was an editor for a New York publisher as an adult.
When it came time for her to write her own stories, she knew she
wanted to write about her people-Black people. Early in the morning
and late at night after her children were asleep, Toni began work
on what would become an acclaimed and trailblazing body of work.
This luminous picture book has back matter with further reading on
Toni Morrison's life and work.
