Book Synopsis


Trade Review
**STARRED REVIEW** "The biography’s awestruck, reverent tone is matched by the gorgeous acrylic paintings. . . A visually remarkable and inspiring introduction to the life of Gwendolyn Brooks." * School Library Journal *
**STARRED REVIEW** "Cabrera’s strong, carefully composed acrylic illustrations beautifully evoke both the joy and the hardship in Brooks’s everyday life and in the life of the community that inspired her. Slade’s attention to detail, vigorous prose, and judicious use of the poet’s own words make this biography, and its subject, stand out." * Horn Book Magazine *
This fine biography should ignite readers’ interest in exploring Brooks’s exquisite writing. * Publishers Weekly *
Cabrera's acrylic paint illustrations perfectly exemplify the title. . . A joyfully illustrated celebration of Brooks' good and important work. * Kirkus *
