About this title

Review:

Praise for DIEGO (1991):

"An accessible picture book about the life and work of Diego Rivera sounds like an oxymoron, but Winter . . . succeed[s] beyond belief. . . . The last pictures show him as a young man, perched on his scaffolding, brushes in hand, beckoning viewers on with his ardent glance. Readers will wish they could follow."
-- School Library Journal
"An excellent beginning biography."
-- Kirkus

* One of The Ruminator Review's 100 Best Children's Books of the Twentieth Century

* A Reading Rainbow Review book

* A 1991 Parents' Choice Award Honor winner

Praise for FAIR BALL! (1997):

Certain to be a hit with kids who take baseball history seriously, Winter's . . . handsome volume devotes a spread each to 14 stars of the Negro Leagues. Balancing stats with engaging trivia and anecdotes, the author will open readers' eyes to the injustices of segregated baseball. . . . This picture book [will] help set some records straight.
-- Publishers Weekly

A good, highly accessible introduction to a group of athletes who deserve to be as well known as their white counterparts.
