(2) K-3 Illustrated by S. D. Schindler. Hopkinson's fictionalized biography of the musical folklorist is pitch perfect for younger readers. The story begins with Lomax's early love of work songs and chronicles the fine-tuning of that interest into a respected profession. Illustrations humorously depict this mild-mannered professor traveling through the Texas plains, searching for examples of America's musical heritage. An author's note discusses Lomax's contributions and processes. Bib.
