Praise
★ “Colón’s pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations are paired perfectly with the text and the subject. . . This expressive picture book biography presents a solid argument for why Cervantes should be revered as an important figure in the Western canon. A gorgeous and well-crafted work for all nonfiction collections.”—School Library Journal, Starred Review
“Poems about contemporaneous events—the plague, book burning—add depth to Engle’s representation of the era. Colón’s noble portraits, done in pen, ink, and watercolor, recall the work of classic popularizers such as N.C. Wyeth and the D’Aulaires. Even readers who don’t progress to Cervantes’s own work will come away with an indelible sense of the story and its creator.”—Publishers Weekly
★ “Engle’s poems are lyrical yet direct. . . Colón’s pen, ink, and watercolor illustrations (inspired by the prints of Gustav Doré) accompany every poem bringing Engle’s words into sharp focus. . . . An intriguing, lightly fictionalized introduction to an iconic author, this will encourage readers to learn more about the first modern novel.”—Booklist, Starred Review
★ “Beautiful and engaging, this book will inspire readers to find out more.”—Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
