This appreciative biography portrays a gifted artist balancing a successful professional career with family responsibilities at a time when most women chose one over the other. Elleman examines Burton's early work and investigates the genesis of each of her seven picture books, from Choo Choo (1937) to the epic, carefully researched Life Story (1962, both Houghton). She shows how Burton's perfectionism shaped her art, which is characterized by organic movement, rooted in the rhythms of nature, and has "survival through change" as its constant theme. A generous selection of family photos and full-color art from Burton's published and unpublished work, laid out in a handsome, open page design, accompanies the text. Research notes, an index, and an extensive bibliography are appended. (Margret Chang Library Journal) Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilogram.

Dust Jacket is in as new condition, apart from normal shop shelf wear - contains no tears or chips or other damage. Clean. Folk art and folk music join in this attractive picture book adaptation of song lyrics originally written by the author. The words convey a utopian vision of a world where people can live in peace, concentrating on their similarities rather than their differences and a common morality and reminding readers that "God is watching us from a distance." Ray makes the most of Gold's ideas of near and far perspective, creating intricate, creamy-hued paintings that are more conceptual than her previous works and tell a distinct story of their own. With each turn of the page, the scenes become increasingly focused akin to working a camera's zoom lens.
