Summary

Long before multicultural characters and themes were popular, Ezra Jack Keats_s works crossed social boundaries and brought social issues to light in children_s literature.This complete collection details Keats_s artistic legacy chronologically, and illustrations and annotations together present a vivid depiction of the development of the acclaimed illustrator. Through these notes, one may learn how works were received, the significance of a particular work or group of works, as well as considerable information on children_s- book publishing in the 1960s and 1970s. From his early days as a comic-book illustrator to the Caldecott Award-winning A Snowy Day, and beyond, including his many graphic and book-illustration projects, this book stands as a superb companion to Alderson_s first volume, Ezra Jack Keats: Artist and Picture-Book Maker
