Book summaryThis is a wonderfully informative picture book about runner Jesse Owens's sweep at Berlin's 1936 Olympics. Carole Boston Weatherford ingeniously takes readers from a single, piercing spread about the runner's childhood directly into his experience in Germany, taking care to point out the problematic political regime. Accompanied by a mini-history and further reading, as well as painterly illustrations. |
