Malcolm Little: The Boy Who Grew Up to Become Malcolm X

48 pp. | Atheneum | January, 2014 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4424-1216-3 $17.99 | Ebook ISBN 978-1-4424-3304-5
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by AG Ford. Malcolm X's daughter chronicles her father's childhood in this lengthy picture book biography. The horror of tragic events--the family's home being set on fire, the murder of Malcolm's father by the Ku Klux Klan--is tempered by (overwritten) descriptions of more mundane events, such as gardening or fishing. Realistic oil paintings show ordinary moments from an extraordinary figure's formative years.
