This is a beautiful interpretation of the poem. I love the two-page illustrations of water scenes (the one that is on the cover, and the one of the single boy in a boat at dusk in particular).
With only one line of verse per double-spread painting, this book is E.B. Lewis' visual interpretation of Langston Hughes' famous poem. Simply beautiful!
Beautiful book.
ReplyDeleteI think you guys should add Coretta Scott (illustrated by Kadir Nelson) to the mix; I think it came out in January. Keep up the good work!

ReplyDeleteThe illustrations have a warm, personal feel that is delightful.
