Illustrated by
Edwin Fotheringham.
This picture-book biography focuses on Ralph Waldo Emerson's home in Concord, Massachusetts, and the role it played in his affinity for nature and literature. Kerley's well-documented account features many sourced quotes from Emerson's writing; Fotheringham's stylish illustrations establish a firm sense of time and place and add a colorful element of whimsy.
