(3) K-3 Illustrated by Barry Moser. In meditative prose, Johnson pays tribute to the men who performed monumental labor hauling earth, hammering steel, felling trees, and stringing cable to build roads, bridges, railroads, and skyscrapers in America. Muted, appropriately large watercolor illustrations portray the men--"our fathers"--from diverse backgrounds. Words and pictures unite to inspire quiet remembrance of everyday heroes.
