John Henry (Caldecott Honor Book)

John Henry (Caldecott Honor Book)

• Used Book in Good Condition

Nothing can stop John Henry-no boulder, no mountain, and definitely no steam drill.  Newbery Honor winner Julius Lester writes with such power that this African-American folk hero becomes as awesome as a natural phenomenon.  Jerry Pinkney received a Caldecott Honor for his exuberant, glowing watercolor paintings of the hero.  The book, celebrating its tenth year in print, was also a <i>Boston Globe-Horn Book</i> Award winner, a <i>Parents</i> magazine Best Book, and an ALA Notable Book, among other honors.
