Dorothea Lange: The Photographer Who Found the Faces of the Depression
ISBN-13: 9780807517024
Dorothea Lange saw what others missed. Before she raised her lends to take her most iconic photo, Dorothea Lange took photos of the downtrodden, from bankers in once-fine suits waiting in breadlines, to former slaves, to the homeless sleeping on sidewalks. A case of polio had left her with a limp and sympathetic to those less fortunate.
Traveling across the United States, documenting with her camera and her fieldbook those most affected by the stock market crash, she found the face of the Great Depression.
In this picture book biography, Carole Boston Weatherford's lyrical prose captures the spirit of the influential photographer.
"Weatherford never talks down to her audience... using figurative language and rich vocabulary to tell her story... Green's debut as a picture book illustrator is brilliant... A fine introduction to an important American artist." --Kirkus Reviews starred review
Target age group 4-8
