Breaking Free: The Story of William Kurelek

32 pp. | Tundra | November, 2002 | Trade ISBN 0-88776-617-X $$17.95
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by William Kurelek. Kurelek overcame a miserable childhood and subsequent bouts of severe depression to become a successful artist famous for his paintings of prairie life. Beautifully illustrated with Kurelek's paintings and written feelingly by the founder of Tundra Books (publisher of Kurelek's A Prairie Boy's Summer), this handsome picture book is a fitting tribute to an important Canadian artist.
