Thanks to Judith, I just read this book today. That's how I learned about Bill Traylor. He started drawing when he was 85 years old and for 3 years he drew like nobody's business, creating over 1,300 drawings. I'm charmed by this book and by this artist.
Check this guy out right here. Also thanks to Judith, we had a joint venture of World Read Aloud Day and our African American Read In. The Thirdlanders read books by African American authors and illustrators all day long. We read to 5 different classes. At the end of the day, the Thirdlanders looked wiped out. This pleased me considerably. These are tough people to tire. This was one of the best days of teaching I've ever had. Happy
World Read Aloud Day, Friendies. Hope you get to join an
African American Read In this month. We had such a blast.
