A Beautiful Book and a Wonderful Story

This book features the work of the great southern artist, Jonathan Green. His bright colors and elegant treatment of rural, southern, African-American life is unparalleled by contemporary American artists. The story is a traditional Gullah story from the Sea Islands about a Widow Lady and her menagerie of animals. It is a delightfully open-ended story that can prompt a lot of fun discussions with children. This book makes a great gift and is simply beautiful to see.
