Read Across America Week: Favorite Author/Illustrator

March 5, 2014 by Tamara

Β Last year, I found him, and I am systematically purchasing all of his books! πŸ™‚
Have you guys heard of Kadir Nelson?
He is not an author…he’s an illustrator, and a must have for Black History Month studies! πŸ™‚
Here are a few of the books that I have that he’s illustrated…
Abe’s Honest Words
Moses: When Harriet Tubman Led Her People to Freedom
He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands
Henry’s Freedom Box
I plan on picking up a few more this summer because I’d love to do an ‘illustrator study’ with his work! πŸ˜‰
Just such beautiful pictures! πŸ™‚
I hope you’ll check him out at some point and pick up some of these books…or some of the others that he’s done! πŸ™‚ Β Your kids will love them! πŸ™‚
