Woody Guthrie: Poet of the People

(1) K-3 Beginning with Guthrie's life preceding the Depression, Christensen traces his wanderings across the United States and the influences on his music. The hand-lettered words to all seven verses of "This Land Is Your Land" border the text and unify the book, which is illustrated with art that resembles woodcuts. Historical background creates a rich context for understanding the relationship between Guthrie's experiences and his work. A time line is appended.
