I just picked up a great little book by Kadir Nelson: CHANGE HAS COME: AN ARTIST CELEBRATES OUR AMERICAN SPIRIT. Kadir Nelson's drawings of the American spirit accompany Barack Obama's words. A tiny inpsirational book with words that serve as a reflection and a celebration. It is a pretty amazing little book that I just needed to have. It might be a good one for some to read on Inauguration Day. Really, I am not sure how Kadir Nelson is doing it these days. Every time I turn around, it seems that he has another great book out there and each one is as amazing as the last one. We are lucky to have him in the children's book world.
