Reviews
"As a child, Barbara Cooney and her family spent each summer in Maine, surrounded by the beautiful landscape and the sea. Back home in New York, she watched her mother paint pictures and practiced making her own. As an adult, she decided to become an illustrator. 'And because Barbara did whatever she set her mind to' (a phrase often repeated within the text), she started illustrating children's books. Color printing was expensive in the mid-twentieth century, so her publisher initially limited her to creating black-and-white illustrations, though she longed to use colors. But after Chanticleer and the Fox, her first book featuring full-color art, won the Caldecott Medal, her picture books featured lively, colorful paintings. Like the main character in her Miss Rumphius, Cooney spent her later years living by the sea, traveling, and making the world a more beautiful place. Mackenzie succeeds in conveying a strong sense of Cooney's childhood as well as her approach to her work, her children, and her guiding principles. Created with graphite, watercolor, and gouache, Ewen's lovely illustrations capture the spirit of Cooney's art. The narrative flows well and will intrigue many adult readers as well as children, particularly those familiar with Cooney's timeless picture books." -Carolyn Phelan (Booklist Starred Review)
Synopsis
"Will intrigue many adult readers as well as children, particularly those familiar with Cooney's timeless picture books." - Booklist Starred Review Legendary picture book creator Barbara Cooney once noticed that the library in her little town by the sea needed attention. A library, she knew, should be a kind of paradise. And because Barbara did whatever she set her mind to, she made it one. Barbara Cooney set her mind to lots of things-none so dear as capturing the beauty of the world in her paintings. These paintings would form the settings for her award-winning picture books, including Chanticleer and the Fox , Ox-Cart Man , Miss Rumphius , Roxaboxen , and others. Follow Barbara from New York to Maine, from the shores of Greece to the mountains of Appalachia, as she captures their beauty and creates some of the most magnificent books for children ever published. A picture book biography about one of America's best-loved children's book illustrators, written by Sarah Mackenzie and illustrated by Eileen Ryan Ewen., "Will intrigue many adult readers as well as children, particularly those familiar with Cooney's timeless picture books." -Booklist Starred Review Legendary picture book creator Barbara Cooney once noticed that the library in her little town by the sea needed attention.
