BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS, HS - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Celebrate the life path of Gwendolyn Brooks – the first black and the first black woman to win a Pulitzer Prize.
Teachers can use this to celebrate Brooks, celebrate the work of poetry, and even use the great page that talks about the value of polishing poetry with revision. Gordon’s illustrations add just the right note to support the narrative without taking over.
