It seems like every other time I pick up a children's book that interests me, the illustrator is Jerry Pinkney. Now, I know he didn't illustrate EVERY children's book, but he illustrated so many good ones that it seems like his name is everywhere in the library :o) Some of the books he has illustrated are (just to name a few):
Rikki-Tikki-Tavi by Rudyard Kipling
The Patchwork Quilt by Valerie Flournoy
God Bless the Child by Billie Holiday
I Want to Be by Thylias Moss
The Man Who Kept His Heart in a Bucket by Sonia Levitin
I've read all of the above and probably tons more. His illustrations tell the story without even adding the words. He is an amazing illustrator and I can see why he has won so many honors and awards for his work. It's an honor for an author to have an illustrator who can add to their stories with illustrations that make the story come to life, as Jerry Pinkney's do. :o)
