Description
A Caldecott Honor
Dave was once an abnormal artist, poet, and potter living in South Carolina within the 1800s. He combined his very good artistry with deeply observant poetry, carved onto his pots, transcending the restrictions he faced as a slave. On this inspiring and lyrical portrayal, National Book Award nominee Laban Carrick Hill’s elegantly easy text and award-winning artist Bryan Collier’s resplendent, earth-toned illustrations tell Dave’s story, a story wealthy in history, hope, and long-lasting good looks.
