About This Item
David Shannon is a master of many styles: delightfully frenetic illustrations that reflect the occasionally chaotic aspects of childhood, charming mid-century aesthetics that add bounce to his books, more realistic art that emphasizes the unusual occurrences of his stories. Before entering the world of picture books, his pictures graced the editorial pages of periodicals including ROLLING STONE, NEWSWEEK, and THE NEW YORK TIMES. His children's books have earned numerous accolades, including a Caldecott Honor. 11'' x 9''. Original cloth-backed boards. Original unclipped ($16.00) color pictorial dust jacket. Illustrated in color. [32] pages. Signed by Shannon to title page. Jacket with a bit of sunning to spine. Sharp and bright.
Synopsis
When Christopher Columbus landed on the island of San Salvador in 1492, what he discovered were the Taino Indians. Told from a young Taino boy’s point of view, this is a story of how the boy tried to warn his people against welcoming the strangers, who seemed more interested in golden ornaments than friendship. Years later the boy, now an old man, looks back at the destruction of his people and their culture by the colonizers.
