Some Writer!: The Story of E. B. White
In this fully illustrated biography, two-time Caldecott Honor winner Melissa Sweet combines personal letters, photos, and family keepsakes with original artwork to tell the story of White's life, from his 1899 birth to his death in 1985. The publisher recommends it for grades 2 to 5, but I'm betting readers and writers of all ages will enjoy this beautiful tribute.
About the Book
Publisher’s description:
“SOME PIG,” Charlotte the spider’s praise for Wilbur, is just one fondly remembered snippet from E. B. White’s Charlotte’s Web. In Some Writer!, the two-time Caldecott Honor winner Melissa Sweet mixes White’s personal letters, photos, and family ephemera with her own exquisite artwork to tell his story, from his birth in 1899 to his death in 1985. Budding young writers will be fascinated and inspired by the journalist, New Yorker contributor, and children’s book author who loved words his whole life. This authorized tribute is the first fully illustrated biography of E. B. White and includes an afterword by Martha White, E. B. White’s granddaughter.
