Illustrated by
Matt Tavares.
A smiling Jack Kennedy greets readers on the jacket of Rappaport's latest picture book biography. Following a familiar pattern, she intersperses quotes from her subject with basic biographical information, here stressing Kennedy's bravery and devotion to duty. In Tavares's varied watercolor and pencil illustrations, a soft palette depicts idyllic settings while more dramatic incidents are shown in bright, bold colors. Reading list, timeline. Bib.
