Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 3-6-These basic biographies present clear pictures of their subjects, their accomplishments, and their legacies: Malcolm X as a civil rights activist, Ralph Bunche as a U.N. peacemaker, and Charles Drew as a medical pioneer. The individuals are all shown in a positive light. Crushshon gives a fair account of Malcolm X without negating some difficult times and racial viewpoints that were part of his life. Well-designed, the layouts are clean and uncluttered; the bordered sepia-toned photographs are of above-average quality.

More About the Author

I am now living in Denver in a hundred year old apartment that overlooks the Zoo. Instead of writing about Pilgrims, I am now teaching English as a Second Language to seminarians at the John Paul II Center. And volunteering at the Denver Zoo. This summer I'm working with the lions and the elephants.
This is my good dog, George!
