A short biography of Robert McCloskey, the author of "Make Way for Ducklings" and Nancy Schön, the sculpture of the "Make Way for Ducklings" statue in Boston's Public Garden.
The illustrations were a sweet tribute to McCloskey's picture book, and pairing these artists with the story of them creating their works was a great idea. I didn't love that it was narrated in the present tense, it felt like the story was describing what was happening in the pictures, rather than telling a story.
McClosky is white, Schön is Jewish
