About the Book
"A picture book biography of Toni Morrison"--Book Synopsis
Stunning poetry and illustrations introduce a new generation to the beloved literary icon Toni Morrison, by New York Times bestselling author Andrea Davis Pinkney and Caldecott Honor winner Daniel Minter. From imaginative child to visionary storyteller, Toni Morrison was a fiercely inspiring writer that helped change the world. This poetic picture book is part love letter and part biography, praising the power of this Nobel Prize winner. With its tender refrain, readers will know how much Morrison's stories -- and their own -- mean to the world. She was loved -- and so are they!Review Quotes
* "Reverent lines from Davis Pinkney use the language of "planting and tilling" throughout. Background washes by Minter, a study in radiant paintwork, overflow with white-outlined flowers that represent "Chloe Ardelia," Morrison's given name, which means "blooming floret." More glowing tribute than straight biography, it's a soulful paean to a beloved creator."--Publishers Weekly, starred review
* "Pinkney's sumptuous writing is paired perfectly with multilayered illustrations by Minter, who embeds washes of watercolor with white linework and acrylic overlays to convey the sheer vibrancy of Morrison.... Creative teachers will find many ways to use this lush book as a mentor text for creative writers."--Booklist, starred review
* "This winning tribute to a great American writer is a must-purchase for picture book collections."--School Library Journal, starred review
* "Minter's evocative illustrations pair perfectly with the lyrical text.... A potent example of the reach of artistic genius."--Kirkus, starred review
