Praise for Jabari Asim's Fifty Cents and a Dream
* "Asim's lyrical text transforms the journey into a spiritual awakening for a young man who had 'a dream in his soul.' . . . An outstanding achievement and a life worthy of note."--Kirkus STAR
* "An inspirational life, memorably presented."--SLJ STAR
* "Asim's lyrical narrative is succinct yet illustrative . . . makes an impressive addition to any biography collection."--PW STAR
"Remarkable . . . told with poetic and soulful candor."--New York Times Book Review
Praise for E. B. Lewis's illustrations in Each Kindness (by Jacqueline Woodson)
* "Combining realism with shimmering impressionistic washes of color, Lewis turns readers into witnesses as kindness hangs in the balance in the cafeteria, the classroom, and on the sun-bleached playground asphalt; readers see how the most mundane settings can become tense testing grounds for character."--PW STAR
* "Gentle but detailed watercolor paintings of a diverse rural classroom. . . . Illustrations of children's facial expressions from surprising angles, expansive countryside views, and pools of water and windows, which invite readers to pause, reflect, and empathize."--SLJ STAR
"Lewis embraces the effects of light like an Impressionist, while his creative, often cinematic uses of point of view add resonance to the story."--BCCB
"Lewis dazzles with frame-worthy illustrations, masterful use of light guiding readers' emotional responses."--Kirkus
