Two fantastic new picture book biographies arrived on my desk today. They are both beautifully written and illustrated, each revealing the evolution of its subject in a kid friendly and engaging way. The subjects? Peter Roget and Johnny Cash - probably not the first two names to pop to mind when thinking about illustrated biographies for children! From the development of the Thesaurus to the growth of a musical legend, they lived in completely different eras, on different continents, but they really have a lot in common: childhood struggles, shyness, and the drive to do something that makes them happy. These are two fascinating men, and the two books are good additions to the children’s biographies. Recommended for ages 6 and up.
