PICTURE BOOKS
McKissack, Patricia C.

Never Forgotten

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Leo Dillon & Diane Dillon. In 1725 Mali, Dinga the Blacksmith calls upon the Mother Elements to help him raise his boy, Mustafa. When Mustafa disappears, Wind, with help from Earth, Fire, and Water, travels to a blacksmith shop in Charleston, South Carolina, where Mustafa has been enslaved. The Dillons' rousing illustrations--at once bold, complex, and lucid--impart dramatic conviction to McKissack's free-verse text.
