Hardcover. NY, Harry N. Abrams, 1st, 2021, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright, unclipped dust jacket. Color illustrations by Evan Turk. As an observant child growing up in Lithuania, Ben Shahn yearns to draw everything he sees--and, after seeing his father banished by the Czar for demanding workers' rights, he develops a keen sense of justice, too. So when Ben and the rest of his family make their way to America, Ben brings both his sharp artistic eye and his desire to fight for what's right. As he grows, he speaks for justice through his art--by disarming classmates who bully him because he's Jewish, by defying his teachers' insistence that he paint beautiful landscapes rather than true stories, by urging the US government to pass Depression-era laws to help people find food and jobs. In this moving and timely portrait, award-winning author Cynthia Levinson and illustrator Evan Turk honor an artist, immigrant, and activist whose work still resonates today: a true painter for the people.

The true story of an extraordinary children's summer camp during the 1920s and 1930s, where teenagers built and sailed their own 75 foot long "pirate ship" on Lake Champlain. Over eleven incredible summers, Francis Godfrey Baker, engineer, boat builder, and visionary, led groups of intrepid teenagers on an odyssey of life-changing experiences while traveling aboard their pirate ship, Aladdin. Baker believed that a little ingenuity and determination turned boys into men; he steered them on a course of events through raging weather and water, meetings with extraordinary people and self-sustainability. He showed them the amazing power that comes through teamwork and camaraderie. This is the first in-depth account of the Adventurers' Camp, and the first time rare photographs of the boys' activities have been presented. INSCRIPTION BY THE AUTHOR on the half-title page.

Hardcover. Boyds Mills Press, 1st, 2002, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket. Long ago in a part of the world once known as Mesopotamia, a nomadic tribesman led his people through the wilderness in search of a mystical land called Canaan. This journey would change the course of human history. Since that time, entire civilizations have flourished and vanished, along with their religions. Only one people has survived the tumult of the centuries--the Jews. What accounts for their remarkable survival? Neil Waldman tells the story of the Jewish people from their arrival in Canaan to the Exodus from Egypt. His paintings capture emotional scenes of Jewish life in the ancient world and in Europe. He shows how generation upon generation of Jews, in the face of profound crisis, have drawn strength from God's promise of a land flowing with milk and honey. The key to the Jewish people's survival is found in the story of their birth. Clean copy.
