(2) K-3 Illustrated by Gérard DuBois. Joseph Cornell (1903–72) became an artist renowned for shadow boxes of carefully curated and assembled objects. Fleming's picture book biography focuses on Cornell's childhood collecting, capturing his curiosity for life's small tokens and moments. DuBois's illustrations, rendered in whisper-soft acrylics and manipulated digitally, have an old-timey aesthetic that complements the story's nostalgia. This book offers much to pore over visually and ruminate over emotionally. Bib.
