Alabama Spitfire: The Story of Harper Lee and "To Kill a Mockingbird"

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Erin McGuire. This picture book biography does justice to the spunky, independent writer of To Kill a Mockingbird. Hegedus develops Lee's character and shares the author's childhood influences (including her small-town lawyer father and her friend Truman Capote) who helped shape her groundbreaking novel. Unfortunately, the digital illustrations cheapen the presentation, giving it a cartoonlike look. Websites. Bib.
