• W2308347672 abstract "BOOKS PROVIDE AN opportunity through which children can learn what it means to be in the world and to respond flexibly and creatively to a diverse range of situations. Author/illustrator Kadir Nelson creates books that provide these opportunities for readers of all ages. A dominant theme in current conversations surrounding children's literature includes the representation of diversity in books, as well as in the authors and awards for children's books. Nelson writes through his own diverse lens, inviting readers to become insiders in a culture and time that may be different from their own.Nelson began drawing at age 3 and continued to develop his skills throughout his childhood. He attended the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York; graduated with honors; and launched his career as a professional artist. In addition to writing and illustrating many award-winning books, he has been commissioned by individuals and companies, such as Coca-Cola, Major League Baseball, and the United States Postal Service. Nelson also created the panoramic portrait cover for Michael Jackson's (2010) posthumous album, Michael, as well as the conceptual artwork for Steven Spielberg's (1997) film Amistad.Nelson (2013b) is the author/ illustrator of powerful books, such as Nelson Mandela, which was named a Coretta Scott King Illustrator Honor Book in 2014. In 2007 and 2008, he won back-to-back Caldecott Medal Honor Book awards for his breathtaking illustrations in Moses: When Harriet Tubman Led Her People to Freedom by Carole Boston Weatherford (2006) and Henry's Freedom Box: A True Story From the Underground Railroad by Ellen Levine (2007).In 2008, Nelson published We Are the Ship: The Story of Negro League Baseball, which won multiple awards, including a Coretta Scott King Author Award and a Robert F. Sibert Medal, both in 2009. The title of the book was taken from a quote by Rube Foster, who stated, are the ship,...all else the sea (p. 9), during the historic time in which the African American baseball players came together to form the Negro National Baseball League. Nelson's book weaves memories and details to give tribute to the players, coaches, and managers involved in the Negro League.Nelson (2013a) went on to publish Heart and Soul: The Story of America and African Americans, narrated by an African American woman whose voice was inspired by Nelson's maternal grandmother. The actress, Debbie Allen, provides an important bridge between family history and the critical need for the inclusion of African American history in our American story.Baby Bear was Nelson's (2014) first foray into the genre of fiction. The book may appear to be a simple story of a young bear trying to find his way home through the woods, but on a deeper level, it is a metaphorical story of helping readers trust their hearts and their paths, and in the end, they find their way home. These gorgeous illustrations lead you down the path and through the story.In his most recent work, Nelson (2015) addresses the question, What will grow from the seeds you plant? If You Plant a Seed explores that literal and metaphorical question as a rabbit and a mouse plant seeds together and watch what grows. When faced with a road of sharing and a road of selfishness, which one will you choose?Nelson's books offer a chance for teachers and their students to see the possibilities and opportunities they have to change the world. Themes of diversity, inclusiveness, historical relevance, and the struggles of the human condition can be found woven throughout his work. Nelson's paintings are both realistic and imaginative and invite readers to relate to them in a deeply personal way. His work is beloved by many, as evidenced by the enthusiastic reactions and sense of anticipation that we experienced in advance of his attendance at the Children's Literature Assembly (CLA) Breakfast in 2015. We were honored to have the opportunity to speak with him about his work. …" @default.
