BUYING ADVISORY: MS, HS - ADVISABLE
APPEALS TO: SOME
In 1950’s and 1960;s Los Angeles, Sister Corita Kent taught high school art, bringing her exuberant outlook to everything she touched and opening her students’ eyes to the wide world around them. Her personality didn’t always mesh with the archbishop’s expectations and after 30 years she left the order to devote herself to her art and her activism.
I know - who is Corita Kent? Paley gives us a lot of information about her and her work. And a quick Google search will bring up many examples of her art. I would give this to your middle school or high school drawing and painting teachers - and probably to your Language Arts teachers - I love this as an example of a picture book biography. It puts many others I have read to shame.
