Read Across America Week: Favorite Author/Illustrator

I am linking up with the girls of Primary Chalkboard to tell you about my favorite illustrator! :)

Last year, I found him, and I am systematically purchasing all of his books! :)

Have you guys heard of Kadir Nelson?

He is not an author...he's an illustrator, and a must have for Black History Month studies! :)

Here are a few of the books that I have that he's illustrated...

Abe's Honest Words

Moses: When Harriet Tubman Led Her People to Freedom

He's Got the Whole World in His Hands

Henry's Freedom Box

I plan on picking up a few more this summer because I'd love to do an 'illustrator study' with his work! ;)

Just such beautiful pictures! :)

I hope you'll check him out at some point and pick up some of these books...or some of the others that he's done! :)  Your kids will love them! :)
