Love to Langston

(3) K-3 Illustrated by R. Gregory Christie. Fourteen free-verse poems tell some of the life story of Langston Hughes. Subjects addressed in the poems include Hughes's experiences with racist teachers, his father, jazz music, and his love for libraries. Appended biographical notes serve to further contextualize the poems. Acrylic paintings, occasionally somber, accompany this tribute.
