E. B. Lewis the illustrator. One of my absolute favorites. Visit his website. His illustrations have graced the pages of such books as The Negro Speaks of Rivers (Langston Hughes poem), The Secret World of Walter Anderson, This Little Light of Mine, and Circle Unbroken. Talkin' about Bessie, Virgie Goes to School with Us Boys, Jacqueline Woodson's The Other Side, and Dirt on Their Skirts. More than 30 books for children. Each page of each book is a masterpiece worthy of framing and a special place on the wall. His characters are so real you can hear them breathing. His use of light so accurate that you can feel the heat on the beach. His splashes of ocean so real you can feel the sea spray. A very talented, insightful man.
