Eleanor (Picture Puffins)

Though she came from a wealthy and privileged family, Eleanor Roosevelt grew up in a cheerless household that left her lonely and shy. Years passed before Eleanor began to discover in herself the qualities of intelligence, compassion, and strength that made her a remarkable woman. In <b>Eleanor</b>, two-time Caldecott Medal winner <b>Barbara Cooney</b> paints a meticulously researched, lushly detailed picture of Eleanor's childhood world--but most importantly, she captures the essence of the little girl whose indomitable spirit would make her one of the greatest and most beloved first ladies of all time. <br>"There are many biographies of Eleanor Roosevelt, but this one is special?Cooney is at her artistic best." --Booklist
