What a terrific way for these students and teachers to start off celebrating Black History Month! Many thanks to Books, Inc. Students at Rosa Parks Elementary School in Berkeley are incredibly lucky-Christian Robinson and Patricia Hruby Powell will be visiting their school this week to share about their creative process.
Josephine is much longer than the typical picture book biography, and the design makes it better suited to savor over time than in one straight shot. I sense that this book is perfect for an eight to ten year old, especially one who's interested in gutsy, determined individuals who won't give up on a dream. Please take a look at the "peek inside" over at the Chronicle Books website to get a feeling for the wonderful design, illustrations and text in this book. Each element complements the other, adding more to the total package. I keep thinking about the way the words and pictures in this story go together.
