(3) K-3 Illustrated by Nicole Tadgell. This picture-book biography shows readers a cross-section of Booker T. Washington's life, focusing on the period of time during which he led the construction of Tuskegee University. The story conveys Washington's remarkable tenacity and gives important historical context for understanding race relations, then and now. Hazy, loose watercolors depict events gracefully. A broader biographical summary and an author's note are included. Bib.
