(2) K-3 Illustrated by Melissa Sweet. Horace Pippin created dozens of paintings, based on memories from his childhood and experiences in World War I, stories his grandmother had told, stories from the Bible, and scenes he saw around him. Bryant's well-researched, articulate account of Pippin's life is interspersed with direct quotes from him, most of which are embedded directly into Sweet's expressive gouache, watercolor, and collage illustrations.
