\nby Jeanne Walker Harvey (Author) and Elizabeth Zunon (Illustrator)<\/p>\n

Booktalk:<\/strong> Follow Romare Bearden’s journey as a young boy in North Carolina who travels by train with his parents up to Harlem. This biography was inspired by one of Bearden’s collage paintings.<\/p>\n

Snippet:<\/strong>
\n\u201cI snip a patch of color and add a cut-out face.
\nOh! I glue on jazzy blue for sky and add another face.
\nPeople walk into my work as if it’s always been their place.<\/em><\/p>\n

My hands sing the blues when I paint and cut and paste.<\/em>
\n I never know what I\u2019ll create when I paint and cut and paste.<\/em>
\n I use paper, fabrics, photos, and nothing goes to waste.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
