(3) K-3 Illustrated by Catherine Deeter. In honor of the centenary of Langston Hughes's birth, Alice Walker's first book for children has been reissued as a picture-book biography, with new full-color paintings. Walker knew and revered Hughes, and while this simply told biography is a sympathetic portrait of the man, it doesn't shy away from his difficult childhood and his encounters with racism throughout his life.
