(3) K-3 Illustrated by R. Gregory Christie. During the early twentieth century, Sears, Roebuck and Co. president Julius Rosenwald established a fund to help African Americans build schools. Through the eyes of a ten-year-old girl, we see one Rosenwald school rise to serve its proud community. Warmth and strength pervade the text (told in one-page chapters set in verse) and art, a distinctive combination of gouache and colored pencil.
Reviewer: Amy Lois Cohn
