(4) K-3 Illustrated by Amy June Bates. This adulatory, earnest picture book celebrates John, Robert, and Edward Kennedy (Joe, killed during WWII, is also introduced). Krull integrates the siblings' powerful words into her text (e.g., "Ask not what your country can do for you...") to create a moving portrait that might resonate more with adults than children. Bates's watercolor, gouache, and pencil illustrations bring the passionate political family to life. Timeline. Bib.
