Growing up I would label nonficition books as the huge bulky books that were meant for strictly education purposes. I have learned that nonfiction books can be entertaining and it is always important to keep a classroom entertain while learning about interesting facts. Some nonficition books I can recall reading were books based on true events (faction books).
Our genre presentation is based on a nonficition book called Pink and Say. This book has amazing artwork and tells a story that all ages will not forget, its a story about civil war and two young men who have develop a friendship through out the battle of slavery.
Patricia Polacco has amazing art work that captures the eye and makes the story run well with her art work. Patricia also illustrate all of her books. Patricia majored in Fine Arts and has a Ph. D in Art History. She did not start writing books until she was in her forties and she has over 45 books, that tell stories about family, friendship and moral values. Some of here inspirations were classic books like Peter Rabbit and Mother Goose stories. Check OUt her Artwork and all her books at Patriciapolacco.com
