Woody Guthrie spent his life putting into words and music what the rest of America was thinking. He roamed from coast to coast and captured the despair of those displaced by the Great Depression and the dust bowl, eulogized workers, and celebrated the great natural beauty of America. This is an introductory biography presented as a picture book with a brief lyrical text and powerful, hand-tinted, woodcut-like illustrations. It includes the complete lyrics to “This Land Is Your Land” and excerpts from his other songs. A book for all ages, it makes this talented and tragic man accessible to young children and will please his older folksinging fans with its stunning art.
Bonnie Christensen was an author and illustrator of books for young readers. She wrote more than 20 books, including Woody Guthrie: Poet of the People, which won the Boston Globe–Horn Book Award and was named a New York Times Notable Book…. More about Bonnie Christensen
