Antsy Ansel: Ansel Adams, a Life in Nature

32 pp. | Holt/Ottaviano | September, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-1-62779-082-6 $17.99
(2) K-3 Illustrated by Christy Hale. This peppy picture-book biography describes how a trip to Yosemite Valley and the gift of a camera set "antsy" young Ansel Adams toward becoming the "photographic visionary" who documented America's remarkable landscapes. Hale's collages in an earthy palette make excellent use of textures in depicting the natural world. An author's note further discusses Adams's life and legacy. Reading list, websites.
