In Her Hands: The Story of Sculptor Augusta Savage

48 pp. | Lee | October, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-1-60060-332-7 $19.95
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by JaeMe Bereal. This picture book biography provides an introduction to the life of twentieth-century African American sculptor and teacher Savage. Leaving her Southern home (and disapproving father), Savage earned recognition in New York. Though the text is wordy and suffers from awkward invented dialogue, readers will glean the importance of Savage's work. The accompanying paintings are well shaded but stiffly composed. Bib.
