A Robert F. Sibert Honor Book Winner of the Schneider Family Book AwardAn ALA-ALSC Notable Children's Book
Winner of the NCTE Orbis Pictus Award for Outstanding Nonfiction for Children As a child in the late 1800s, Horace Pippin loved to draw: He loved the feel of the charcoal as it slid across the floor. He loved looking at something in the room and making it come alive again in front of him. He drew pictures for his sisters, his classmates, his co-workers. Even during W.W.I, Horace filled his notebooks with drawings from the trenches . . . until he was shot. Upon his return home, Horace couldn't lift his right arm, and couldn't make any art. Slowly, with lots of practice, he regained use of his arm, until once again, he was able to paint--and paint, and paint Soon, people--including the famous painter N. C. Wyeth--started noticing Horace's art, and before long, his paintings were displayed in galleries and museums across the country. Jen Bryant and Melissa Sweet team up once again to share this inspiring story of a self-taught painter from humble beginnings who despite many obstacles, was ultimately able to do what he loved, and be recognized for who he was: an artist.

Excellent Suit for the Money. Great, rich details.
Size: X-Large, Color: Black
This is a stunning piece of clothing. The material for the vests and pants are so luxurious and make it look like you spent a lot of money. Great versatility and thick material of great quality. The material is made of a rich fabric that feels subtle and gentle, but with the patterns showing well. It fits well and allows for movement. Whether you are looking for a wedding suit, or something to wear to a gala or bow-tie event, this is it.
