Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2014
excellent resource for the classroom
Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2011
This is not at all the book I'd hoped for. First it is all in black and white; has small photo of illustrator in most instances and no examples of their work. It is NOT what I need to quickly have a reference of Black children's illustrators AND their work. Still need to go on-line and search for illustration examples, print them, compiling my own reference companion, getting their contact information. Was not worth it except as something of an initial guide.
