When Norman Rockwell was a boy growing up in New York City in the early 1900s, he loved listening to the stories his father read to him and, most of all, he loved drawing. Small and thin, he felt happiest when he drew, and people noticed. As he grew up, he painted what he saw around him, and through his eyes we can see the people and neighborhoods and families of America living, working, and growing. In Norman Rockwell's paintings people saw themselves. During World War II, he tried to do his part by helping those at home understand what was going on overseas through his paintings. When President Roosevelt spoke to the nation about the Four Freedoms, Rockwell brought them to life in his paintings. And when the civil rights movement began, he painted what he saw. Norman Rockwell is an American treasure, and this is his story.
In this striking picture book biography, Robert Burleigh and Wendell Minor invite young readers into the world of an iconic illustrator who captured the American spirit.
