the remarkable true story of NFL star Ernie Barnes--a boy who
followed his dreams and became one of the most influential artists
of his generation--with this beautiful and fascinating nonfiction
picture book illustrated by four-time Caldecott Honor recipient
Bryan Collier. "An artist paints his own reality." --Ernie Barnes
Ernie Barnes was an NFL football player who longed to make art.
Finally his dream came true. When Ernie Barnes was growing up in
North Carolina in the 1940s, he loved to draw. Even when he played
as a boy with his friends he drew with a stick in the mud. And he
never left home without a sketchbook. He would draw families
walking home from church, or the old man on the sofa. He drew what
he saw. But in the segregated south, Ernie didn't know how to make
a living as an artist. Ernie grew tall and athletic and became a
football star. Soon enough the colleges came calling. Still, in his
heart Ernie longed to paint. Would that day ever come? Ernie Barnes
was one of the most important artists of his time known for his
style of elongation and movement. His work has influenced a
generation of painters and illustrators and can be found in museums
and collections, such as the African American Museum in
Philadelphia and the California African American Museum. Between
the Lines is a story of inspiration, spirit, and of an American
original who pursued his dream. This enchanting picture book
includes pieces of artwork created by this little known artist who
captured the truth and beauty of the world he saw around him.

A truck rumbling by to deliver the mail, a silvery cart with hot
pretzels for sale, and stacks of brown packages hauled up the
stairs... Some shapes in the city are... on-the-go squares! City
Shapes is an ode to city life, depicted from the points of view of
a young girl walking through her neighborhood and a bird flying
high above, both spotting dazzling shapes in every scene they pass.
From the shimmering skyscrapers to the bustling marketplace, the
kites flying free in the sunlight to the stars shining bright at
night, everyday scenes become extraordinary. Diana Murray's playful
and poetic verse encourages readers to look for shapes everywhere,
noticing the hidden details in even the simplest of scenes around
them every day. And Bryan Collier's beautiful illustrations add
even more layers to the cityscapes, letting readers get immersed in
the hustle and bustle, culminating in a thrilling twist when the
girl looks through her kaleidoscope and sees the skyline in a
completely new way. A celebration of finding magic in scenes both
new and familiar, City Shapes has the potential to become a
classic.

A wonderful picture book introduction to a legendary American
writer
It's a special day when a little girl and her father go to visit
the house where the great poet Langston Hughes lived--especially
when the little girl is a poet herself
This rhythmic tale is a wonderful introduction to the work and
world of Langston Hughes, who was a central figure of the Harlem
Renaissance and an American cultural hero.
For many children who live far away from their grandparents, it can
be hard to understand why they can't always be together. Patricia
MacLachlan has created a bridge to close the distance by finding
connections in memories and the moon they share.
A beautiful, lyrical poem coupled with Bryan Collier's rich
collages, "Here and There" celebrates the importance of staying
close to your family, even across thousands of miles.
"An in-depth look at Ali's life through twelve rhyming poems. . . .

A Coretta Scott King Honor Book
A National Council for the Social Studies Notable Trade Book for
Young People
From the moment a fired-up teenager won 1960 Olympic gold to the
day when a retired legend, hands shaking from Parkinson's, returned
to raise the Olympic torch, the boxer known as "The Greatest" waged
many a fight. Some were in the ring, against opponents like Sonny
Liston and Joe Frazier; others were against societal prejudice and
a war he refused to support because of his Islamic faith. The
rap-inspired verse weaves and bobs and jabs, while bold collage
artwork matches every move--capturing the "Louisville loudmouth
with the great gift of rhyme" who shed the name Cassius Clay to
take on the world as Muhammad Ali.
