Illustrated by
C. F. Payne.
In this picture book biography, Rappaport intersperses primary source quotations throughout the main text to capably distill Theodore Roosevelt's life. Her account of Roosevelt's political career is balanced with brief but intimate glimpses into his two marriages and family life. Payne's superb illustrations seem to straddle the worlds of fine art and political cartoon, capturing Roosevelt's multifaceted, larger-than-life personality. Reading list, timeline, websites. Bib.
